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.
I encourage this behavior, however, elrepo kmod packages often have the kernel version hard-coded into it, so you'd need to either edit the .spec file, or run rpmbuild with a
--define 'kversion 3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64'
to force it to build against the latest el7 kernel.
Well, I wouldn't call it "hard-coded', but yes, if the kernel version is not defined from the command line, then whatever the version defined in the spec file is used. :)
By the way, the updated package is now in the elrepo testing repository, e.g.
https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el7/x86_64/RPMS/kmod-8188eu-4.1.4_6773.2013...
