How do I know which update I need


I have just installed Fedora 15 and currently trying to install some drivers but looks like i am missing a some modules or packages. How do i know which modules or packages I need? So far I have only ran teh following commands.

yum install kernel-devel kernel-headers
yem install gcc

Which other one do I need to run and how do I know?

dirvers for what (wifi card i suspect ?). if you post make and model perhaps someone can tell you.

else the manufacturer will tell you what is needed to run their hardware (did it come with documentation ?). i guess it wouldnt be harmful to also install gmake.

the command should be yum install gcc

it would help if you post the actual error message you get.
