Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager "create" access on NetworkManager.state.2Q737U. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by NetworkManager. It is not expected that this access is required by NetworkManager 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 557529 ***
this appeared after I have updated NetworkManager.
Vladimir, per bug 557529: use 'restorecon -R -v /var/lib/NetworkManager' to fix this problem. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
