That output indicates that that kmod package is built for the EL 7.5 kernel and is not compatible with the current kernel. I suggest you file a request to have the kmod-8188eu rebuilt for EL 7.6 at http://elrepo.org/bugs/ .
Another alternative may be to pull down the SRPM and run it through rpmbuild to locally create a binary package compatible with the system as it's currently installed/running.
Thanks, that would certainly be a better solution than manually building the driver from source, since I could install the resulting .rpm on all of my machines. If the bug I just submitted to elrepo doesn't get resolved for whatever reason, I'll try that.
