/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 15:40:19 UTC 
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 04:04:05 UTC 
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 14:13:48 UTC 
Is this file created by wpa_supplicant?


restorecon /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant
