Comment 24 for bug 194487

Diego, as I pointed out above, the FF for Karmic is tomorrow. Exceptions are possible, however at this stage of the game, the approach I mentioned above ( ie. working with upstream ), is probably your best bet.

If you're able to re-factor your patches against the upstream git trees, and create git patches, then they can just be emailed to the NetworkManager email list ( see http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list ). That should get the conversation started with upstream.

Again, as for landing your patches in Hardy, I'd wait and get asac's opinion before re-factoring your patches against NM 0.6.6. I understand your point about nothing changing unless you explicitly enable the functionality, which is the right approach, however I still have doubts that your changes would meet SRU approval.
