Not clear if automatic update downloads are done over modem connection

[Marius B. Kotsbak]

Binary package hint: update-manager

I see that in Natty there is a warning if you are connected through a mobile broadband modem and manually start the update manager. I wonder if the automatic updates are disabled when using such connection.

There should have been a short text about it in the settings for automatic updates download/installing (especially if the behavior has changed in Natty). Preferrably it should have been a checkbox to select wether to download updates automatically through modem connections.
