Title:
  nm tries to use wrong PIN and blocks the SIM

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: network-manager

  Network Manager tries to use a PIN number i entered for one SIM card, when i insert another one.
  This leads to blocking of the SIM, provided NM has acces to the Gnome keyring; i need my PUK to unblock the SIM again.
  the reason for this is, that NM doesn't know a way to tell the difference between SIM A and SIM B, as long as they are on the same network, obviously..

  this is a serious troublemaker, right after "i can't choose whether
  wifi or mobile broadband should have connection priority"

  can't NM learn to tell two different SIMs apart?
  ..1) i'm running Lucid on an NC-10.
  ..2) NetworkManager Applet 0.8 and "network-manager 0.8-0ubuntu2"
  ..3) i expected for NM to prompt me to enter the PIN code for the new SIM card
  ..4) NM tried to use the PIN it knew from the other card on the new one, since it assumed, the new card, being from the same network provider, had the same PIN

  cheers
