Thanks jklimes 
             But what i found is that AddConnection Api is present in Network Manager 0.8 dbus interface  and not on Network Manager 0.7 Dbus interface, is that true or i am missing something.
             Even the dbus interface Documentation of NetworkManager says that.

regards
kiran

Hi kiran,

yes, it's possible. You would use AddConnection(connection) method of
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings interface.
You can use attached python example.

However, be sure that you use 'keyfile' plugin, otherwise you won't be able to
store the connection (just keyfile plugin supports it).

(/etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf
should contain keyfile keyword:
[main]
plugins=ifcfg-rh, keyfile
)
