Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.04:

creating a new mobile broadband connection works fine.
When connecting a usb stick to access the mobile network a PIN is requested. There is the option to store the PIN permanently.
However, the key is not stored (queried after each insert) and seahorse does not show any entries.

In the configuration dialog I can enter a PIN as well but this is not stored either.

(This incident happened on a different machine so do not take machine information from the upload)
