This is rather under-documented I discovered last night.  There is a
document that describes the keyfile plugin config, but it doesn't appear
to be on the NM website, and it isn't included in any Fedora RPM as far
as I found.  I opened BZ 627782 about this; the spec file takes steps to
keep the timestamps on docs (for multilib), but then only includes a
single file (the library API) in an RPM.

The ifcfg-rh plugin doesn't appear to have any documentation at all
(from what I understand, it doesn't support all the same things in
network-scripts that ifup/etc. do, and it adds some things of its own
for WPA and the like).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
