Fix: I changed the context of the wpa_supplicant.conf file to NetworkManager_etc_rw_t and attempted the save again, at which point it worked. I am not entirely sure this is the correct context for the file, but it seems right considering the subject context in the AVC message - and bonus, it works! Not often a fix is posted with the bug, but hey... here ya go! Don't know if this is the same problem...but it is related. KDE plasma.networkmanager would connect to wireless app but not authenticate (WPA,WPA2) after upgrading to new 3.4x kernels.(Yes, I used two different ones) Checked systemctl and found that wpa_supplicant.service failed to start using version 3.4x kernels. Reverting to 3.3.8-1 kernel put everything back to normal, without any configuration changes. Just guessing, but it might have something to do with the 3.4x kernels. =) This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
