I started on something I'm calling nm-cli. 
http://nm-cli.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nm-cli/

I'm using it right now for default ethernet, and it doesn't work too 
well, but I'll be adding to it as I figure out how to create the client 
side dbus connections and stuff.  It's mostly just nm-applet on the 
backend with an option parser.  With regard to documentation, is anyone 
accepting patches for such a thing (the client side libraries at least)?
