I know it detects the connection but would like to have a preference option that downloads updates in the background.

I want to use PackageKit and yum interchangeably. There are particular things yum makes easier and there are particular things PackageKit makes it easier for me. I think it is a common enough use case that I want it to just work without having to tweak configuration files. IMO, the default state change timeout value should be higher but I have done that for now. Thanks.
