Title:
  Wrong oFono property used for data technology indication

Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products:
  New
Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Image: Touch #100 ( aka v1.0 ).

  The current indicator-network code uses the ofono's
  NetworkRegistration interface's "Technology" property to determine
  which mobile data connection icon to display on the status bar.

  The code currently compares the value of "Technology" to:

   - "gsm" -- this causes "2G" ( or a tortoise ) to be displayed

   - "umts" -- this causes "3G" to be displayed

   - "edge" -- this causes "E" to be displayed

   - "hspa" -- this causes "H" to be displayed

   - "lte" -- valid, but currently not supported in the ofono/rilmodem
  driver ( LTE isn't yet 100% supported )

  The code instead should be examining ofono's ConnectionManager
  interface's "Bearer" property.   This is not currently being set by
  the ofono/rilmodem code ( see bug #1245954 for more details ).

  The valid values of the "Bearer" property ( with associated icons in
  parentheses ) are: "none", "gprs" ( 2G ), "edge" ( E ), "umts" ( 3G ),
  "hsupa"/"hsdpa"/"hspa" ( H ), and "lte" ( L ).  oFono doesn't
  currently support reporting HSPA+, whereas RIL does, so if have the
  need for differentiating between HSPA and HSPA+, then we'll need to
  patch ofono so that the value "hspap" is valid for "Bearer".
