Entering PIN into profile (aka gsm.pin) and upping it should result in connected device not: Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection. [vbenes@trautenberg ~]$ nmcli connection up id O2\ Default Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this connection. [vbenes@trautenberg ~]$ nm-applet [vbenes@trautenberg ~]$ nmcli connection up id O2\ Default Connection successfully activated (D-Bus active path: /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/19) so from above mentioned I would say we need to have nm-applet (network-manager-applet rpm) to be installed as a dependency of NetworkManager-wwan and when upping gsm type connection we should be able to start nm-applet prior, right? Not sure how this behave in non-gui mode but that's kind of step 2. Stopping nm-applet after shutting down the connection would be nice too :-) (In reply to Tomas Pelka from comment #0) > Description of problem: > PI dialog for broadband devices won't appear unless nm-applet is running. Tested on RHEL 7.3, a Gnome-shell dialog is displayed asking for PIN/password upon connection to a modem device.

For example you can use: nmcli --ask connection up O2 to use the built-in secret agent. Or also start a agent with: nmcli agent that will receive the secret requests for new activations. So the dependency to nm-applet is not needed. Can you please confirm everything works as expected and this can be closed? Works for me, feel free to move to MODIFIED and add to https://errata.devel.redhat.com/advisory/22920 Thanks -Tom This works well now with both GS agent and nmcli as an agent with --ask option.
