selinux stopping NetworkManager from doing its job.

Dear fellow testers and selinux experts,

selinux is stopping NetworkManager from doing its job.  To get internet, I have to manually type # dhclient eth0 
and get internet connection.


Summary:

SELinux is preventing dhclient (dhcpc_t) "read write" unconfined_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by dhclient. It is not expected that this access
is required by dhclient 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:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

Guess it applies over here:

I do not get eth0 active upon starting up, since selinux stops NetworkManager from getting IP automagically :(.
