The upstream documentation has some info; the man pages (nm-applet(1), nm-connection-editor(1), nm-online(1), nm-tool(1), nmcli(1), NetworkManager.conf(5), nm-system-settings.conf(5), and NetworkManager(8) all have useful information. I'm sure it could be improved, but so far it's been useful to me. I should probably edit my initial sentence to 'NetworkManage is fairly well documented' instead, I guess.
Great - that many manpages....
I find the NM messages on /var/log/messages ludicrously verbose; and even after wading through these messages it is difficult to determine exactly what is wrong. In my view NM should spend a little time trying to make these messages more helpful.
Agreed. They're almost as opaque as SELinux avc denials.
Just like what Lose, I mean, WinDoze, logs... paragraph long "error messages" that are mostly useless and information-free.
