Tested the 'home made' package:
525020@nc0631:~$ sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB2): deactivating device (reason: 0). Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <info> Clearing nscd hosts cache. Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <info> Policy set 'Auto eth0' (eth0) as default for routing and DNS. Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <WARN> stage1_enable_done(): GSM modem enable failed: (32) SIM PIN required Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <info> (ttyUSB2): device state change: 3 -> 9 (reason 0) Feb 1 17:37:51 nc0631 NetworkManager: <info> Activation (ttyUSB2) failed.

m525020@nc0631:~$ dpkg-query -W modemmanager modemmanager 0.3-1ubuntu1
So it does not fix the problem for me.
