Hi,

It seems that this is still/again an issue on Debian Jessie with:
Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.8.10-3
Package: modemmanager
Version: 1.0.0-4

If you search for the bug, several hits show up from 2010/2011, all
indicating that this issue is fixed already:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=633362
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/704123
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618532

Issue explained again:
I have a internal modem with a SIM card always inserted.
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0bdb:193e Ericsson Business Mobile Networks BV
The connection is globally saved in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/<name>
and includes the unlock PIN for the SIM card.

On every boot/network-manager restart a dialogue asks to enter the PIN
to unlock the SIM card. If you press escape it disappears. However,
connecting to the mobile network works fine! (so it probably uses the
stored pin anyway)
If you enter the PIN, you will be asked for superuser rights,
afterwards the pop-up shows up again. Also here connecting works fine.

So it seems, that the pop-up is unnecessary and annoying if the pin is
already stored, especially if you don't have superuser rights and you
are unaware of the fact that you can just ignore it then.

Thanks,
Stefan
