Just to confirm, the pattern you want to match is all letters, numbers, hyphens and forward-slashes, right?

If so, try this

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9/-]+)$ index.php?category=$1 [QSA,L]

I think the problem may have been your ordering of the hyphen and forward-slash in the character class expression. To match hyphens, they should appear first or last in the set of characters.

Does this work?

RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?category=$1 [QSA,NC,L]
