On Linux, given an USB surfstick with a SIM card that has a PIN, how can I disable the PIN of the SIM card?
Note that the PIN is known, I do not want to crack it etc, just disable it.

That might depend both on the SIM model and on the modem model.– Gilles 'SO- stop being evil'Sep 1, 2013 at 19:58

1If the SIM is removable, why not putting it into a phone and clearing the PIN there?– peterphSep 3, 2013 at 17:20

The following commands will allow you to remove SIM CODE from SIM card
screen /dev/USB0 Let's assume you have a modem on /dev/ttyUSB0 (check dmesg when you plug your usb to ensure that)
The following commands will not be echoed - the easiest way is to prepare commands and copy paste to avoid typos. Others tools than screen exists but I found screen widely used in command platform.
ATZ should return OK
AT+CPIN?
should return +CPIN: SIM PIN indicating SIM PIN is needed
AT+CPIN="xxxx" replace xxxx by your PINCODE. should return OK. you have access to the SIM
AT+CLCK="SC",0,"xxxx" replace xxxx by your PINCODE. disable pin code
The following keyboard sequence will exit screen: ctrl+a k y
Setting the pin to 0000 usually disable it.
