When I plug my USB wireless adapter into my computer I get an selinux
warning. I've pasted them below. Also the contents of
/var/log/messages as they pertain to the connection of the wireless
adapter. It appears that I need a driver for the wireless and if
anybody knows where to get it I would appreciate the link. I don't
understand the selinux part of the problem and if somebody could
enlighten me that would be great.
Thanks,

Summary
SELinux is preventing /bin/ln (udev_t) "create" to <Unknown>
(etc_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /bin/ln. It is not expected
that this
access is required by /bin/ln 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
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could
try to
restore the default system file context for <Unknown>, restorecon
-v
<Unknown> If this does not work, there is currently no automatic
way to
allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy
module to allow
this access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-
fc5/#id2961385
Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling
SELinux
protection is not recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this
package.
