Hi Darren,

This is the conflict I ran across a few days back.  The push I just did
included part of the fix (there are now nwam_ncu_enable/disable functions),
but the under-the-hood bits in nwamd still need to get plugged in once
Michael's push goes in; that should be a very minor update.

We'll also need to update nwamadm to allow this to happen from the command-
line.

The property will remain read-only; you shouldn't toggle it via the property
settings.  You should instead use the enable/disable functions.  This seemed
more consistent with the distinction between configuration and administration
that we already have in the CLI, and also makes more sense in the event flow,
I think.
