I'm not too sure if I should post this with SELinux,
refpolicy, or kernel.org,(or even wpasupplicant);
so I decided to do all to the best of my knowledge.
when using the ath9k module with the latest git
kernel(or atleast a few days old); and the latest refpolicy (svn)
I'm seeing this avc denial show up:
Dec 16 12:33:32 name kernel: [ 20.415785] type=1400
audit(1229459612.411:3): avc: denied { sys_module } for pid=2510

exe="/sbin/wpa_supplicant" subj=system_u:system_r:system_dbusd_t:s0
key=(null)
the allow rule is:(with ath9k module)
allow system_dbusd_t self:capability sys_module;
which in turn will be rejected by checkpolicy
(capability 16)
when compiling the policy.
If I use the madwifi module the avc is similar but produces
allow system_dbusd_t self:capability { sys_admin }
(capability 12)
and will be accepted by checkpolicy.
As for setup I'm using NetworkManager from
intrepid as well as wpasupplicant
Any info would be appreciated so I can test this module out
and feel better knowing the module is not being denied in any
way, that might cause a false positive, or some other weirdness.
regards;
We label wpa_supplicant as NetworkManager_exec_t and have dbus
transition to this domain.

Cool thanks for the info.
I just have to figure out how
to get the machine to do that.
i.g. through dispatcher.d or network/interfaces.
one thing that I'm noticing is ubuntu's version of
NetworkManager only has two plugins(01ifupdown,keyfile);
I'll try loading another version and see if the other plugins
is what I'm missing to have dbusd transition
correctly.
