Public bug reported:

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" to be displayed

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

 - "edge" -- this is invalid ( never set by ofono )

 - "hspa" -- this is invalid ( never set by ofono )

 - "lts" -- 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 are: "none", "gprs" ( 2G ),
"edge" ( E ), "umts" ( 3G ), "hsupa"/"hsdpa"/"hspa" ( 3G ), and "lte" (
L ).  oFono doesn't currently support reporting HSPA+, whereas RIL does,
so we'll need to patch ofono so that the value "hspap" is valid for
"Bearer".
