What version of NetworkManager? 0.6.x or 0.7? > So is it possible to configure that WLAN without any of those applets, > maybe with some dbus calls? Yes, either with shell scripts + dbus-send, or with python and dbus. > If not, are there other frontends (preferably cli) beside the three > above? Not too many, unfortunately. Tambet started a python-based CLI front-end that he hasn't published yet *hint hint*. It's pretty easy to control NM via Python though. You first need a service that provides connections (ie, configured networks and settings) to NetworkManager which is either the user applet or the system settings daemon. Once you have that service running, and have told it about the connections you'd like to use, you can pretty easily tell NM which one to use via dbus-send or python and dbus.
