Same here (as #47): 14.04

The bug here pops up slightly different: "SIM PIN2 Unlock Required". The PIN2 is the difference. I dunno what PIN2 is, but never mind, if I type PIN1 it goes away, or if just close the window, it connects perfectly well. So I'm annoyed mostly with the pop-up of the Network Manager. 
Plus, as additional observations:
1. Whatever I do (see further up), it *does* connect. It read PIN1 perfectly okay, I never had to enter it. It set up the link perfectly okay *without* me ever entering this PIN.
2. It never displays 'Connected'; it always gets stuck at 'Connecting'., contrary to the other network interfaces. This obviously is very buggy code. It has an IP address, I can ping 8.8.8.8, and yet it still talks about 'Connecting'. 
3. And the broadband icon in the network manager (at least in Kubuntu) never shows the link (box ticked). 
4. And yet, despite 3., the notification says 'FONIC connected', while applet talks about 'used last'.

Machine: lenovo Thinkpad, Qualcomm Gobi 2000.

Bug description:
  ****************
  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-AROUNDS
  ************

  - 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.
