Bug Description
[Impact]
I recently recommended a TP-Link TL-WN722N to an UbuntuCore customer asking for a recommendation of a USB wifi adapter with external antenna for the RPi since i use this card in various RPi projects ...
trying it on UC22 it turns out that the module driving this card is not included in the pi-kernel snap.
in fact the staging dir seems to mostly be empty ... the same kernel on classic includes the needed r8188eu.ko module via the linux-modules-extra package.
it seems like we do not include linux-modules-extra in the 5.15 pi-kernel snap at all which is a regression compared to former pi-kernel snaps where this wifi card works fine.
[Fix]
Move r8188eu module to linux-modules so that it ends up in the pi-kernel snap.
[Test Case]
Check pi-kernel snap content.
[Where Problems Could Occur]
Machines that have a USB NIC that needs this driver -> kernel crashes, stack traces, ...

I checked on UC16, UC18 and UC20 and all of them have the staging dir fully populated, so this is UC22 only
