Description Jonathan Underwood 2008-02-22 22:57:59 UTC
Description of problem:

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant (NetworkManager_t) "search"
    to <Unknown> (debugfs_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant. It is not
    expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/wpa_supplicant 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
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon -v
    <Unknown> If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to
    allow this access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy module to allow
    this access - see 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
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.

Ok should be in selinux-policy-3.0.8-89.fc8

I am still encountering this after upgrading to:

selinux-policy-3.0.8-93.fc8

Comment 5 Daniel Walsh 2008-03-30 10:25:46 UTC
Well the policy has been there for a long time.

Could you check if you have multiple kernel policies?

ls -l /etc/selinux/targeted/policy/policy*

If yes could you delete them  and execute
semodule -B
