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.
