This is a known issue and is fixed in the latest release, judging by
your next point I am guessing that you run Ubuntu which is still on
0.6.2.  You may want to find the bug on launchpad for this and mention
that the fix for this is in 0.6.3 and see if it can be backported to
0.6.2 for dapper-updates.  If you don't do it I will try and remember
to do this myself tomorrow.

This is a feature scheduled for the 0.70 release.

The particular issue you had is an Ubuntu/Debian only change and not
the default behavior of NM and I thought that Ubuntu/Debian did have
some pretty good docs under Readme.Debian but maybe it should have
been integrated into YELP?  I think this is a distro specific issue so
you may want to open a bug on launchpad asking if they can add the
docs in Yelp?  The current docs in Yelp are basically useless.  If you
don't open the bug I will make a note to do it tomorrow morning when I
have some time to properly draft the spec.  I am not sure if there is
a formal documentation repository available anywhere...  If not maybe
opening something on live.gnome.org would be appropriate and people
like myself could update it?
