How does PackageKit implement this?
We ask NetworkManager (or connman) for the network adaptor type. This
seems to work well, unless someone uses their phone as a portable
hotspot (i.e. Wifi) and then it fails hard. Code is in
https://gitorious.org/packagekit/packagekit/trees/master/src -- see
pk-network-stack*.[c|h].
It's all based on an erroneous presumption however, namely that it is
only mobile broadband connections which have bandwidth restrictions/costs.
A single "unit" of usage on my VDSL connection is worth 2.5Gb of data
during working hours, 50Gb in the evenings or weekends and 1Tb in the
early hours of the morning. Not surprisingly therefore I prefer it if
updates don't suddenly start downloading during working hours, which is
exactly what happened when I upgraded to F18.
