Unable to start network interface

teis · #1 (**permalink**) 09-19-2008

Hi

(sorry for my bad English)

I'm trying to configure an US Robotics (USR5423) wirless usb adapter on Fedora 9. the device is detected, and i'm trying to configure a wireless connection.
When I want to activate the device using
#service network restart
or
# /etc/init.d/network restart
the following errors are shown:

Shutting down device wlan0 - [Failed]

Bringing up interface wlan0 - [Failed]
: Error for wireless request "set mode" (8B06) :
SET failed on device wlan0 : Invalid argument

Determining IP information for wlan0... Failed

After these error messages the SE troubleshoot browser pops out with an AVC denial:

Summary: SELinux is preventing the semodule from using potentially mislabeled files (/home/Teis/.xsession-errors)
It tells me that i have to relabel the file and the whole directory using restorecon.
After doing this, and restarting the network services, the errors (and the acv denial) were still there

I realy hope someone can help me (please explain everything clear, because i'm a linux newbie

)
