Hello,

Long time user, first time code contributor, please be gentle.

I have a USB wireless NIC that is unsupported in the GENERIC kernel, for 
which I offer a patch.

dmesg describes this as:
MAC/BB RTL8192EU, RF 6052 2T2R [MAC omitted]

usbdevs describes this as:
0bda:818c Realtek, 802.11n NIC
high speed, self powered, config 1, rev 2.00, iSerial [MAC omitted]

Following some advice I found given in a similar situation to another 
person 
(https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/ujbfh0/comment/i7mx7rf/) I 
was able to build a kernel for which the NIC works.  Here is the patch.  
I believe that only the changes to if_urtwn.c and usbdevs are manual, 
and the changes to usbdevs.h and usbdevs_data.h are generated 
automatically by the build process.
