Description Robin Green 2010-02-05 11:03:14 UTC 
From setroubleshoot:

SELinux denied access requested by avahi-autoipd. It is not expected that this
access is required by avahi-autoipd and this access may signal an intrusion
attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the
application is causing it to require additional access.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable
SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.
Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Miroslov, looks like you have to back port avahi policy from F12 to F11.
