/usr/sbin/NetworkManager (NetworkManager_t) "unlink" to wlan0 (var_run_t).     
For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 286c60a0-5ec3-4fc6-94bc-312dc4b88e55

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2007-06-04 11:40:19 EDT

Fixed in selinux-policy-2.6.4-13.fc7

restorecon -R -v /var/run should fix this for now.

Comment 2 Bruce Brackbill 2007-07-31 00:04:05 EDT

This is a bug for me also.

Using selinux-policy-2.6.4-29.fc7

restorecon -R -v /var/run works as a workaround until I reboot

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2007-07-31 10:13:48 EDT

Is this file created by wpa_supplicant?


restorecon /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant

Comment 4 Daniel Walsh 2007-08-22 10:08:42 EDT

Closing as fixes are in the current release
