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

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_6773.20130222-5.el7_6.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
