UMTS stick requests SIM PIN even though one is configured in NetworkManager
Last modified: 2011-04-05 07:18:35 UTC
This is a regression from earlier versions (including openSUSE 11.3) and other distros (like Fedora). I have configured two UMTS connections for two different UMTS sticks/providers (one for Germany, one for Austria where the latter has a PIN code) in NetworkManager. When I now insert the Austrian UMTS stick, I get a pop-up "SIM PIN Unlock Required". If I then actively select the corresponding entry in nm-applet, the connection is established (after all, the PIN is saved in the configuration) and I can manually cancel the SIM PIN dialog. The UMTS stick is ID 12d1:1001 Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. E620 USB Modem.

This is with a GNOME setup (GDM, GNOME desktop, nm-applet,...).

However, there is a timeout which explains occasional failures. It seems to be a duplicate of 668838 after all *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 668838 ***
