Like onitake, I also think nm(-applet?) should not ask for a PIN at all.

I have a SIM-card plugged into my laptop which I only need occasionally. Annoyingly, nm asks me on every log-in to enter the PIN, whether I use it or not. Also, it is not clear what will happen if one enters the PIN (instead of pressing just escape on the dialog). Will nm make a connection? Even if it's not the users intention? What does it need the PIN for then?

At least make it configurable, so that I can disable this (at least for me) useless behavior.
