The system settings service allows this. It uses "plugins", which parse and store configuration on disk that's available to NetworkManager before any user logs in. There are plugins to parse the native configuration file formats of Fedora, SUSE, and Debian/Ubuntu, as well as a distro-neutral plugin called "keyfile". Look in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf, there will be a "plugins=" line there that is a comma-separated list of plugins. A plugin for your distro should already be there, if not add the "keyfile" plugin. Restart or just 'killall -TERM nm-system-settings', and if you're using the keyfile plugin, you can create new system connections in the connection editor (/usr/bin/nm-connection-editor), otherwise just use your distros normal network configuration tools, or hand-edit the files in the normal manner for your distro. The connections will now be available to NetworkManager at system boot time.
