Comment 48 for bug 704123

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.
