Just try to disable PIN security on your SIM.
If you desperately need a PIN on it,
File another bug report about it not connecting with PIN, but then again, you'll have to check if it does connect without a PIN.

The PIN is quite simple (0000). I entered it in the connection
properties (named "Orange 3Gb"). I had no popup asking for a PIN.

After a reboot, here what I get when I plug the key

I couldn't find where the PIN is stored, I wonder why the very same PIN
fails with NM and works with the alternate scripts and tools. I'll see
what I can report.

After adding this and installing usb_modeswitch or ReZero this works beautifully with NetworkManager
