Hi Dave -
I remember dealing with wpa_supplicant back in the day. Hopefully,
Allen can make use of the how-tos you found.
Cheers,
Dave

David,
Key question is how do I configure network connections with NetworkManager
from the command line?

Probably not the answer you want to hear but you don't with EL5 and earlier.
It is possible to work directly with the appropriate configuration files like
we did in the "good old days" before NetworkMangler. There were some
reasonably good how-tos that I followed to get WiFi working on my laptop back
in 2005. Getting the original how-to is probably much better than me trying
to remember what I did.
Actually when you mention it now ... there is this wpa_supplicant which
does the WPA configuration. I did this many years ago when I ran
Gentoo, long before NetworkManager came along. IIRC, NetworkManager
uses wpa_supplicant under the hood even nowadays.
This might provide some better clues on the wpa_supplicant config files:
