The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/dhclient "read" access on nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by dhclient. It is not expected that this access is required by dhclient 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: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

restorecon -v /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf Will fix this. Not sure how it got mislabeled. Do you have any ideas of how it was created? Do you have any processes running on your system as initrc_t? ps -eZ | grep initrc_t I am going to close this for now but if it happens again or you find network manager processes running as initrc_t please reopen.
