I still can't figure out how to use NetworkManager from a command-line, so I don't.

man nmcli should tell you how to manage it, and https://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/SystemSettings should tell you how to configure it through text files.

Network-Manager is awesome on a server.

For example:

I wouldn't even know were to start with configuring 802.1x network access controls (very different from 802.11) on Redhat and Debian and Suse, but I know I can do it all the same way on all three systems if I am using Network Manager.

Please tell me how I can connect to a WPA2-protected network with a passphrase using nmcli. Please.

I've read 'man nmcli'. It didn't help.

I am not familiar with nmcli, but cnetworkmanager[1] can connect to WPA networks with passphrases from the command-line, using NetworkManager. It has a fairly simple, high-level interface.

nmcli is the successor to cnetworkmanager[1]. nmcli cannot yet make new connection configurations on its own.

I'd like to recommend wicd with wicd-curses. Managing wireless connections has been a pleasure ever since I discovered it.
