Summary: SELinux is preventing /sbin/modprobe "execute" access on /sbin/modprobe. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by modprobe. It is not expected that this access is required by modprobe 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.

I think we need to add label for ebtables. I am seeing the same issue on RHEL6. Carl, could you try to execute chcon -t iptables_exec_t /sbin/ebtables
SELinux support for ebtables was added to selinux-policy-3.8.6-2.fc14
