Missing SIM PIN dialog after nm update

[Arne Caspari <arne unicap-imaging org>]

Hello list, 

I updated to GNOME 3.2 on Ubuntu 11.04 with the GNOME3 and
ricotz-testing PPAs. NetworkManager now is at Version 0.9.1.90. Since
the update, I no longer get a dialog requesting the PIN for my USB UMTS
modem. The nm-applet menu lists a mobile broadband connection but if I
select it, nothing happens. 

In /var/log/syslog the following line appears after selecting the
connection: 

"NetworkManager[897]: <warn> failed to enable/disable modem: (32) SIM
PIN required"

I tried to enter the PIN maually in the nm-connection-editor but it
does not get saved ( ie. the next time I open the dialog, there is no
PIN entered ).

Anybody got an idea what to do to get my UMTS modem working again?
