Hello Thomas,

thanks for your answer.
There are some business needs behind this migration to NM requirement...

Reg. nm-connection-editor - i already tried to generate a new profile using
nce and then just copy it to the proper location but NM just ignores it.

However, i found a solution -
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/dbus/add-connection.py
- by using this python script i'm able to add NM connections on the fly
without anything else, problem solved :)

Stano
