I think a networkmanager module for e17 would be fantastic. IMO, networkmanager is a great example of technology "just working."
There are some docs and examples in their svn: http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/NetworkManager/trunk/ The client part just needs dbus, and since e already uses e_dbus that dependency wouldn't be a problem.
