Ok. One more question... Is there a reason why I can not just create a file in 
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections that has all of the right settings and 
NM just pick it up? I am having to change certain fields in the config and I 
just figured I could just use a perl script to replace the whole file...

Yes, that is also the default behavior. If both devices just need to use DHCP, 
then one connection data is enough and both devices can use it. There's a "MAC 
address" field in the connection editor to tie the configuration with specific 
device. If you require different connection settings, create two connections 
and specify the MAC address on both to lock the connection data to specific 
device.
