NM exposes a D-Bus interface that can be manipulated through command-line utilities. There have been a number of them started, but apparently none really finished. Some control can be done via dbus-send, or you can use python quite easily. A command-line utility is definitely something on the todo-list. > Also, is there a document that describes what NM is doing an what files > it accesses.

If those files are marked with ONBOOT=yes, then NM will activate them automatically. If they aren't, some simple python would allow you to essentially ifup/ifdown those. I think in the future we do actually want to hook up Fedora's ifup/ifdown to NM when NM is being used.
