Version: 0.9 (using KDE 4.7.4) OS: Linux I am using a mobile broadband connection via a built-in modem in my notebook. Each time I start the system the PIN must be entered. I would like to see the PIN saved in Kwallet. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: put a SIM card into slot of an integrated UMTS modem Actual Results: on each system start the PIN must be entered Expected Results: PIN should be saved in kwallet.
I am reluctant in implementing such a thing because ModemManager cannot identify sim cards, which means that if you swap the sim card Plasma NM will still send the PIN for the old sim card and eventually lock it. You will be required to use the PUK to unlock the sim card. When ModemManager correctly implements sim card identification I can consider implementing this. Until there I am not going to do it.
Actually I was looking at Plasma NM source code and it indeed stores the PIN when using NetworkManager 0.9. That is not the default configuration though, you must change that in the mobile broadband connection dialog. Important: if you change that configuration it will be your responsability if your sim card is locked by accident. Anyway, that does not solve your problem because ModemManager signals that it requires the PIN when Plasma NM starts. Well, you can change your connection to a system connection, then NetworkManager will store the PIN. System connection does not mean it will be available to anyone, you can select each users are allowed to use it (the user who created the connection is always allowed to use it).

Add to kcm module, in "Other" tab, option to select if Plasma NM should ask for GSM Pin on modem detection or when activating a gsm connection. The last one is what most users want but some modems do not work with this mode.

I am on nm 0.9.8.8 and it doesn't work. It behaves like what it was when this RFE was posted. Whenever I boot / log in, it pops up asking for the PIN2. It never stores it. Not even with a system (all users) setting.
