The problem -- at least with the Livna RPMs -- is that device files were 
installed into /etc/udev/devices, which has been deprecated.  The latest version 
of the Livna RPM makes SELinux happy by creating the device files through 
/etc/udev/makedev.d per Harald Hoyer's comment at:

Based on your description, I would guess that the driver from freshrpms has the 
same defect.
