Description lanx 2008-05-18 22:18:10 UTC 
It seems that selinux is too preventing :) I got these errors when I have tried
to connect using Wireless Assistant

SELinux is preventing wpa_supplicant (NetworkManager_t) "unlink" to wlan2
(var_run_t). 
SELinux is preventing wpa_supplicant (NetworkManager_t) "write" to wlan2
(var_run_t). 
SELinux is preventing wpa_supplicant (NetworkManager_t) "setattr" to
./wpa_supplicant (var_run_t). 

Details in attachement, also I have errors when I have tried to use wpa
supplicant gui it uses some files in /tmp/ and selinux is preventing.
SELinux is preventing wpa_supplicant (NetworkManager_t) "sendto" to
/tmp/wpa_ctrl_3041-0 (unconfined_t). 
SELinux is preventing the wpa_supplicant from using potentially mislabeled files
(wpa_ctrl_3041-1).

You have a mislabeled directory.

restorecon -R -v /var/run

will fix.

Not sure how you got this directory.
