I thought you were on console 1, I didn't realise that NetworkManager printed output to console 1 even if you started it from elsewhere...

Sounds like NetworkManager is using syslog() to write to the log file, and you have syslog set up to notify you. This usually happens by printing messages to console 1! NetworkManager seems to translate glib errors directly to syslog errors. Have a look at nm-logging.c if you want to see more about that. Anyway, depending on the logger you use (I use syslog-ng) you can set it up not to be so verbose. syslog-ng allows you to filter based on program name for example. man syslog-ng.conf for more info (or whatever logger you use :) Have a look at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng.conf for some examples.
