GPSD issues with new install

Eyecannon · 06-29-2003

Hey all, I went from RH to Gentoo on my laptop, and everything is almost running perfectly, except my GPS. I used to run gpsd on /dev/ttyUSB0, but now that device is not available. I have my Belkin USB to serial converter activated in the kernel, but how can I get this device to show up? Thanks.

I don't know if this helps, but I couldn't get gpsd by itself to work, I had to use the one that comes with gpsDrive.

I have since gotten GPSD to work (at least partially)... if I telnet to the GPSD port, it gives the proper data... BUT, when I run kismet, the GPS values will jump from the proper values to wrong values... like it flickers back and forth every few seconds... weird stuff...

in your gpsd string, are you setting the speed to what your gps device is actually communicating at? ie.. -s 4800 ... or whatever it is spitting out at?

It defaults to 4800, and I've tried forcing it as well...

Also, there's this mysterious entry with no SSID, and it's sending thousands of Association Requests constantly... I'm pretty sure it's not an actual AP of any sort....
