For Cellular we show the carrier name, which, for an external network with a locked sim, appears to be "wwan0". We can change this logic to just show 'Cellular' while the SIM is locked.

Not a P1, and not something we will try to fix for 66.

I can't seem to reproduce this. It's not urgent, marking available.

Actually, I can, I forgot to reboot the device after locking the SIM.

In this case the name is 'eth0' which is equally unhelpful to the user.

The problem is that Shill is setting the Name property to this value, and we have no way to distinguish between a useful name and a less useful name.

We should fix this in Shill and either set an empty name (in which case chrome will just use 'Mobile Data'), or a more user friendly name.

This can be reproduced outside of OOBE by attempting to enable Cellular from the system tray menu while the SIM is locked.
