Can anyone tell me how to get kernel-headers-4.11.8-200.fc25.x86_64 ?
Why? Long story. Short version: my Intel 8265 wireless card is
unstable with kernel-4.11.9 and 4.11.10. With 4.11.8 it is not. But
since I have 4.11.10 installed on my system (with 8, and 9) the
kernel-headers are also at 4.11.10.
Vmware workstation needs to build its modules under 4.11.8 which I'm
now running. But it can't w/o the matching kernel-headers!
Thus my question. Or is there a better way?
You can find them at koji, download them for your architecture, and then
downgrade using dnf,
dnf -C downgrade ./[header file name]

I recall reading that a 4.12 stable kernel is going to find its way
into F25, perhaps that will fix your issue.

Thanks, Stan. When I tried to remove kernel-headers-4.11.10-200,
dnf said it wanted to remove a lot of other packages. Of course I said "no".
If I downgrade the headers to 4.11.8, will it also need to downgrade all those other
packages? (I've never downgraded anything.)
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!
