An obvious place to start is the NetworkManager project. They should be 
asked the obvious "what do you need" and "does this provide it" 
questions. Dan Williams has been active recently producing small kernel 
patches which make the kernel side stuff work better with NM, so he 
might be a good contact to start with.
