IIRC, it used to be said that NM didn't read 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* .

In my case if NM does read these files
it doesn't seem to take much notice of what it reads,
as I have specified the ESSID of the AP I want to link to,
but NM seems to ignore this.

It really would be useful if one knew which files NM looks at.
It's really not good enough to say that this is not needed
because "NM just works".
