GPSD Kismet says "Lost GPS signal"
Problem: Can't use gpsd with Kismet. I launch gpsd then Kismet. Kismet says "Gathering Packets" then "lost GPS signal" and I'm getting either zero kb Kismet gps files in /var/log/Kismet with no gps data.
Gpsd version 2.32 Kismet version 2004.04.R1 I've googled this to death and read how everyone seems to find issues with gpsd. Reports of bugginess. I've searched this forum and Kismet forum and the GPSD site as well. Here is how I'm launching gpsd gpsd -d localhost:2947 -S /dev/ttyS0 Here is what my kismet.conf says: # Do we have a GPS? gps=true # Host  ort that GPSD is running on. This can be localhost OR remote!gpshost=localhost:2947 # Do we lock the mode? This overrides coordinates of lock "0", which will # generate some bad information until you get a GPS lock, but it will # fix problems with GPS units with broken NMEA that report lock 0 gpsmodelock=true Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? |

The other thing is that there is known problems with the 2.X branch of GPSD and Kismet (will be addressed in newcore). Looks like the GPSD parser is busted and causes issues. I use a version from the old 1.0x branch quite reliably. Amazing what a quick bit of searching will turn up.

Dutch posted a forked GPSD version around here back in April. That one's been working great for most of us.
(Welcome back Thorn!)

Speak for yourself, Mark. I have pounded my wife's conga on more than one occasion, but I have never felt the urge to toot another man's horn.
