The core only reports these attributes, it doesn't actually use them for
anything. When attached you can simply send a status=registered, LAC, CellId
and Tech set to -1. We can see about removing these a bit later.

I suspect you're right.

Sorry I don't see a practical difference. You set 'Powered' to TRUE, gprs atom
issues a 'set_attached' with TRUE. Once you have attached the driver sends
out a ofono_gprs_status_notify. Whether this happens in 1 second or 2 hours
doesn't really matter.
