GPS, GPSD, and Belkin USB to Serial converter help!
I am about to pull my hair out over this one... I have a GPS which I run thru a Belkin f5u109 USB to serial converter for my laptop. It used to run perfectly in Redhat, but I forgot to take note of how I got it set up working in Redhat before I switched to Gentoo. I have compiled Serial to USB converter support into the kernel, and experimented with pretty much all of the modules. You'd assume that the belkin module would be the one, but that one does not assign the serial port to /dev, the one that works (sorta), ironically is the Magic Controller one (mct_u232)... it automatically assigns the port to /dev/usb/tts/0, and if I cat /dev/usb/tts/0, it spurts out a little ascii, then stops. So I run GPSD, which assigns to port 2947, and if I run Kismet or even telnet to that port, it's really strange. The latitude will "flicker" from 34N (correct value) to 56N (incorrect value), and the longitude stays correct. Like I said, the mct_u232 module is the only one that even assigns it to a /dev, and I am just all out of ideas. Please help!
