Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/dhclient "write" access on /var/lib/wifiroamd/dhclient-leases. 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.

For now, could you try to change the context of /var/lib/wifiroamd/ directory using chcon -t dhcpc_state_t -R /var/lib/wifiroamd/ Is wifiroamd working correctly after that ?
