Actually, i dont know if i made myself clear, let me try again. As the network will be available, it will appear on nm-applet, so i dont need to create the connection itself. I already have a bash script that controls nm-applet, e.g., connects to the network i say it to. The thing is, the final user will not have the network key, what i want is to make network manager (any instance of it) read the password from a file, so it wont be necessary to type it.
