Hello,
I'm having some problems with my PCMCIA mobile Internet Card (HUAWEI E870) on network manager (with Gnome ppp it works fine, but require root privileges).
Now I tried to use the new Network Manager functionality, but can't figure out why it's not working. I went to "Edit connections" and set up the basic settings for "Mobile Broadband" (Number, Username, Password).
If I try to connect it fails and the syslog says:

Does anyone know what "<WARN> impl_ppp_manager_need_secrets(): Cleared secrets, but setting didn't need any secrets." means and how to correct it. I searched on Google but without success.
Thanks for your help!
