Finally able to reproduce the crash with a Sierra device; the problem is
specific to certain plugins where the PIN check takes a while to happen
(because the CFUN needs time to complete).  Because the PIN check fails
during the Enable() call, ModemManager will move the device from
enabling -> disabled state, and that changes the Enabled property to
FALSE, upon which NetworkManager would deactivate the device.  That's
bad since we want to move the device to NEED_AUTH and ask for the PIN.
But since the device was already deactivated when the Enable() call
reply came through, the g_assert () in handle_enable_pin_required()
would fire.

I've pushed a number of updates to NM and nm-applet to fix various bugs
I found while investigating this problem, but there's still one issue
with nm-applet I have to fix tomorrow.  Setting a PIN in the connection
itself should work fine now, but entering the PIN through the PIN
request dialog will fail if you have a username set on the connection
(which is what I still have to fix).
