nm-applet problems with selinux

[Brian C. Huffman]

After today's update, nm-applet can't find my wireless device.  This
shows up in /var/log/messages:

Jan 28 10:33:41 xyz NetworkManager: <WARNING>
nm_dbus_get_networks_cb (): nm-dbus-nmi.c:527 (nm_dbus_get_networks_cb):
error received: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied - An SELinux
policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient
(rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo"
member "getNetworks" error name "(unset)" destination
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerInfo").

Anyone know a workaround?  I disabled selinux and it works fine.

thanks,
Brian

Looks  like NetworkManager 'moved' to /usr/sbin.

'chcon -t NetworkManger_exec_t /usr/sbin/NetworkManager' will help,
but appears to be one more 'misconnect'.

Running in permissive mode (e.g., booting with 'enforcing=0') should
work until this gets fixed.

Updating policy and  restarting messagebus should clear this up.
