Description Matthew Saltzman 2008-04-22 17:39:59 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux denied access requested by iwconfig. It is not expected that this access
is required by iwconfig 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. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.0.8-95.fc8, wireless-tools-29-0.2.pre22.fc8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rmmod mac80211
2. rmmod iwl3945
3. modprobe iwl3945
  
Actual results:
