Howto backup NetworkManager settings

Backup with:

tar -zcvf nm.tgz ~/.gconf/system/networking/ ~/.gnome2/keyrings/login.keyring

Caution: This will also backup your keyring!

Restore with:

sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager stop
pkill nm-applet
gconftool-2 --shutdown
cd ~/
tar -zxvf nm.tgz
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start
gconftool-2 --shutdown

Caution: This will overwrite your keyring!

Press Alt & F2 to start "Run program" and enter "nm-applet"
