There will be only one kernel-headers package on your system and is normally updated
each time the kernel gets updated.
So, if you've downloaded the 4.11.8 kernel-headers you should just be able to do....
dnf erase kernel-headers
followed by
dnf install ./kernel-headers-whatever.rpm
Thanks Ed. (Sorry for the tardy reply.)
When I do "dnf erase kernel-headers" it says it wants
to remove 137 packages even though I've cd'd to /tmp in which
sits kernel-headers-4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64.rpm.
Perhaps you meant "dnf downgrade kernel-headers"?
Anyway, I discovered that the 4.11.8 kernel does not
fix my wifi problems. It turns out that there is a nasty
interference issue between the wifi and the outboard USB
disk docking station. I've had it off since booting 4.11.8.
Today I turned it on while uploading files to another computer
and my wifi locked up same as before. When I had all the problems
earlier under 4.11.10, the USB disk was also running.
Have no idea how to fix this!
