Comment 2 for bug 732640

Update :

this is what it says when i try to run this command to compensate the nm-applet loading failure

sudo nm-applet

** Message: applet now removed from the notification area
** Message: applet now embedded in the notification area
** Message: <info> No keyring secrets found for Auto AMyCon/802-11-wireless-security; asking user.

** Message: <info> No keyring secrets found for Tata Docomo (GPRS)/gsm; asking user.

**
ERROR:applet-device-gsm.c:781:gsm_get_secrets: assertion failed: (info)
Aborted

It looks like the 'connect automatically' option checked on my 3G connection tries to retrieve the SMS PIN from the keyring secrets (like it does for the wifi passkeys stored there) and fails hence the failure to load/start the nm-applet.

not sure however if this is a bug or a design problem.

thanks,
