There's cnetworkmanager (which is a good program and well-known) and
Jirka Klimes is also tasked with developing one written in C that may be
more suitable for environments that don't have python.  In general
you'll want to *configure* connections using your distro's normal
network configuration system (which NetworkManager should pick up
automatically) or via the 'keyfile' plugin (see
http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerSystemSettings ).

And then use the command-line client to up/down that connection.
