--- Comment #20 from Holger Sickenberg
Actually, it looks like the old ModemManager doesn't store the PIN anywhere. The difference may just be that the new version is more aggressive about inputting the PIN code when it's getting errors from the modem. Most likely this is because there are modems where it's hard to tell if you need to input the PIN or not, so the safest option is to just provide it.
The PIN is not stored anywhere, apparently because specs require it to be entered manually. Additionally, it's impossible to identify the SIM card prior to entering it, so an automatic storage mechanism has no reliable way to associate PIN numbers with SIM cards. However, according to the upstream mailing list, it's often possible to identify the *modem* and associate the PIN with that, which is good enough for most users.
For me the PIN is stored with the connection Data of Network Manager. Starting an connection is possible if I just click cancel at the PIN & root-password request windows. For versions of openSUSE I never had this behavior before (was using 11.3 & 11.1).
There's code to do just this in the upstream git repository. It might be possible to adapt it as a patch.
Could please you provide me the output from the following commands:
rpm -q ModemManager rpm -q --changelog ModemManager | head -20
