Yes, I know about it. Some time ago, in NM CLI thread on this list, Dan
Williams pointed that python implementation is not exactly what we want.
In C/glib we can use libnm-glib library instead of direct dbus calls.
That would make easier to keep update with NM changes, I hope.

I've started some prototyping. Here is the Git repo:

git://github.com/wsowa/nmconfig.git

Building (in nmconfig directory):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

Currently it can only display basic device information, but i hope it
can serve as good base for prototyping.

Thanks,
Witek.
