As already mentioned, there's system-config-network-tui. I'm not sure
it has any doc, but the curses interface is self explanatory.

Other than that, NM-0.8 comes with it's own cli tool (brand new, so it
might be rather limited and undocumented for now):

I don't know about the others, but NM currently doesn't know about
bridging. It should come pretty soon though :
