rtl8188eu source is in staging but it's not configured #300

Please configure rtl8188eu (staging) when building the kernel modules. The source is already there in the kernel, it just needs to be configured. I've compiled it myself from source and it works fine with my TP-LINK WN725N v2. I added "options r8188eu rtw_power_mgnt=0" into /etc/modprobe.d/8188eu.conf because I don't like the small latency leaving it enabled adds temporarily (I honestly could live with it, but I like fast ping). I've tested it for a while with that option set and it's rock solid. Tested it streaming many videos to XBMC (on raspbian) without a glitch.

moved to "kernel" since it's not really a "firmware" thing.
