I am new to Fedora and recently installed Fedora 26 OS. I am trying to connect to wifi using that. I followed the youtube video Broadcom installation and tried to install the Broadcom drivers. I have downloaded the rpm file broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-2.fc26.noarch.rpm when I ran the command rpm -ivh broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-2.fc26.noarch.rpm it says wl-kmod >= 6.30.223.271 is needed.
I googled and found that it is the package akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-13.fc26.x86_64.rpm and when I try to install it it says wl-kmod-common >= 6.30.223.271 is needed. When I googled I found that it is package broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-2.fc26.noarch.rpm. It seems to be a deadlock as one require each other.
broadcom-wl - which has wl-kmod(akmod-wl) as requirement
akmod-wl - which has wl-kmod-common(broadcom-wl) as requirement
I have been struck in this for 2 days. Any suggestions on this regard will be helpful.

You could tellrpmto not to install dependencies (knowing you'll install them later anyways) byrpm --nodeps. Did you try installing this viadnfrather thanrpm, that would typically take care of weird dependency configurations.

It's always better to avoid nodeps forcing. Usually it only brings more problems, than solves...

There is no problem if both rpm files depend on one another; just install the two together:
rpm -ivh akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-13.fc26.x86_64.rpm broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-2.fc26.noarch.rpm
Logically; if there are more dependencies; you can install all of them together. If you don't want to hassle with all these dependencies; try installing the rpms with a package manager (like zypper or yum).

I think DNF is the default package manager in Fedora these days; it can be treated as yum for most purposes. Also, I run RHEL7 and use "yum localinstall" instead of "rpm -ivh". Keeps the database consistent and, as you say, solves some dependencies all by itself.

Sorry for the delayed response I had some issues with my Fedora OS bootable pendrive and so had to install it in a hard drive. This command perfectly worked for me and I am right now commenting from where I have connected to wifi in Fedora after installing broadcom drivers. This saved me a lot of time!
