** Description changed: **************** HOW TO REPRODUCE **************** 1. Plug the USB modem into a port. 2. When you are asked to enter the modem's PIN, do along with the "automatically unlock this device" option. 3. Unplug the modem, and plug it again. - ****************** EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR ****************** - The modem to be automatically unlocked. ************** REAL BEHAVIOUR ************** - You are asked to enter the PIN again. - *********** - WORK-AROUND - *********** + ************ + WORK-AROUNDS + ************ - - The layout of the PIN dialogue is defined in /usr/share/nm-applet/gsm- - unlock.ui. If this file is renamed, whatever program spawns the dialogue - silently fails. Hence the bugging dialogue will not appear, but the - connection works nevertheless. + - Changing the SIM's PIN to empty. + + - Renaming the "/usr/share/nm-applet/gsm-unlock.ui" file. + **************** RELEVANT DETAILS **************** - The same behaviour when configuring the PIN from the "Network Connections" menu. - Even if the PIN is stored in "/etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/", Network Manager cannot retrieve it. - The bug makes the device to become locked as soon as network connectivity is lost for a while. - This bug forces administrators to tell the PIN to other users, while they will rather want to keep it in secret and just allow themselves to be able to configure the connectivity in specific devices.
