Public bug reported:
Trying to connect using a GSM modem that lacks a SIM card does just give
the user a general connection failure message without any hints about
the missing SIM card.
This can fool the user into thinking something other is wrong than the
fact that he forgot to insert the SIM card, or inserted it improperly.
Latest modemmanager master branch gives in log:
Feb 2 20:21:24 marius-T1005 ModemManager[1105]: <warn> Modem couldn't
be initialized: Couldn't check unlock status: SIM failure
but there is no indication to the user (nm-applet behaves as if mobile
broadband is unavailable)
