As Brian said and I found out, e_dbus actually has some NM binding in place already. I've started building an EWL app that can talk to NM and have it reading a device list from there. The API in e_dbus has needed some work - bits of it were broken and there's a lot of functionality that it's missing. I've been adding that code as I go. Except some code soon!
