Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
When setting up a mobile broadband connection in the network manager it asks for a PIN (I think the PIN of my SIM card). I can only enter a 4-digit PIN. The problem is that a SIM card PIN can have up to 8 digits which cannot be entered with the network manager. Also I supply already a PIN in the connection settings. Network manager should honor this.

I've done some more investigations:
With a 4 digit PIN I can connect to the UMTS network.
The connection settings for the mobile connection in the network manager seem to be bogus, because neither the PIN I have to enter in the prompt is saved there nor is the PIN entered there used by the network-manager. So this field is completely useless at the moment.
