Can anyone point me at the docs for configuring NetworkManager without
the tray applet?
I've tried google, the gnome.org nm page, and the man pages. I can't
find a thing.
Thanks.

NetworkManager provides a D-Bus API for controlling network connections,
as seen here: http://people.redhat.com/dcbw/NetworkManager/spec.html .
For setting up network connections without a user settings service,
NetworkManager provides a system-wide settings service which reads
ifcfg-* files like you'd normally create on Fedora. Be sure to set
NM_CONTROLLED=yes, and NetworkManager should pick them up and use them
as long as ONBOOT=yes (which means bring it up automatically).

Thanks for this. I've got two more questions:
1. How will users find out about this? I can't find any documentation
without using the magic NM_CONTROLLED search term.
2. Is there a cli network manager tool planned for Fedora?

What exactly are you trying to find out? For the most part, if you have
an ifcfg file that doesn't use bridges or aliases, NM will just pick it
up and handle it provided NM_CONTROLLED=yes or is absent. NM_CONTROLLED
is about as well documented as any of the other options in ifcfg files.

Yes.

That's a bug maybe worth filing against initscripts; the
/usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt file is fairly useful but
may have slipped out of currency.

It wasn't documented because it was inveted late and actually has no
bearing on the old network ifup/ifdown scripts at all. Hence, if
you're configuring by hand, it serves no purpose.

And if somebody converted that into manpage(s) she would be my
personal hero.

I am not a hero type but this is certainly an itch to scratch for me.
I have taken a search for the initscripts project but got results only
for initscripts-ipv6. What I got is the home page for the rpm package:
Is this a fedora-only package? What is the way to sign up as a volunteer?
