You should have a look at http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/Mo ... Contribute
which is the upstream project which holds all that data. If adding it yourself proves too difficult, you can also
provide the data in a bug report at https://bugs.mageia.org and the correspondent maintainer of that package should add it then.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but you can add a profile to Network Manager by running # nm-connection-editor from terminal.
