Installing wireless network card Ralink RT2500
 
I downloaded the driver for my wireless network card and tried to install it but got a message about dependencies. What are these and how can I get my driver installed? Please see below for my commands and the message returned:

[root@localhost ~]# cd /root/Linux/Linux\ software
[root@localhost Linux software]# dir

error: Failed dependencies:

Hope somebody can help.

looks like you need to install "dkms".

Try looking for the regular dkms rpm, and installing that before you install the dkms-rt2500 one.
