Public bug reported:
The seriousness of this bug can be discussed. Besides preventing the
device to function, the SIM card will lock up and become unsable after
several unlock attempts (10) with a wrong private unlock key (PUK).
The PIN and PUK keys seem to be entered and handled the same place in the
source code, as far I can see the executable and source the entry field is
limited to 4 digits:
Fragment of code found in applet-device-gsm.c
...
*out_secret_entry = GTK_ENTRY (w);
gtk_entry_set_max_length (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
gtk_entry_set_width_chars (GTK_ENTRY (w), 4);
...
I discovered this problem since my mobile broadband pccard Huawei E600
cannot be used with network-manager 0.7 although it otherwise works in
GNU-Linux.
** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
