My Lucid installation with NetworkManager version 0.8 still only allows
4 character PIN.

A workaround, for reference follows.

I was able to reset the SIM card using the PUK by doing the following:

> sudo dbus-send --system --print-reply --type=method_call
--dest=org.freedesktop.ModemManager
/org/freedesktop/ModemManager/Modems/0
org.freedesktop.ModemManager.Modem.Gsm.Card.SendPuk string:"########"
string:"####"

where the '--print-reply' is not strictly necessary, and I'm not sure if
I needed the '--type=method_call' either.  I guessed as the '--dest' to
send to and verified by using '.GetImsei' to see when it worked.

The path was taken from the /var/log/syslog message where the modem was
initialized.  The method is from the spec.html document provided as docs
with NetworkManager.

Once I sent this message, I was able to use the modem with the PIN
again.

Whew!
