You need to have a connection (profile) configured first. Then you can activate that by NetworkManager. You should use a system type connection since that is managed directly by NetworkManager and not GUI app like nm-applet. You can definitely create it from command line, e.g. via D-Bus (see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/add- system-connection.py) or editing configuration files (depends on which plugin you use: RH ifcfg files, keyfile configurations in /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/, etc.). However, the quickest way to configure a connection is to use nm-applet and just click on your AP's SSID. The connection will be created automatically for you; you provide the password and it will be stored, and thus you won't be asked for it later. Then you can switch the connection to be a system connection using nm-connection-editor and checking "Available to all users." Now you have a connection you can activate any way you want. Use nmcli, some script employing D-Bus or just mark the connection to "autoconnect" and it will be activated automatically.
