Comment 11 for bug 290177

For me, network manager doesn't even seem to detect that a PIN secret is needed:

After having started UMTSMon, which correctly asks and receives the PIN code, or running the AT+CPIN command against /dev/ttyUSB0, the following log is given after a success connection has been made:
