SELinux is preventing /sbin/iwconfig from using the sys_module capability.
***** Plugin sys_module (99.5 confidence) suggests *************************
If you do not believe that /sbin/iwconfig should be attempting to modify the kernel by loading a kernel module.
Then a process might be attempting to hack into your system.
Do
contact your security administrator and report this issue.
***** Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests ***************************
If you believe that iwconfig should have the sys_module capability by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep iwconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
