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:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=241712#c15
and see

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