[Bug 704123] Re: Network Manager asks for the PIN even if it is memorized
Please, mark this bug as "won't fix" and disallow further comments to be added.
After almost 5 years it's clear there either is no will to solve the bog or no capability.
This will make the bug team more serious at least.

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.
