A wiki wont do. A proper test proceedure and test report is called for.

I've been trying to gather that information for the past little while. It's proven rather elusive, and I didn't want more people to try the hardware fix until we really understand what the software fix can do, so I thought I'd better ask for the test ASAP, and then continue working on the info. Andy, can you provide links to two kernels: one before, and one after the fix? The test will consist something like cat /dev/ttySAC1 | grep GPGGA and then time it until it gets a fix. I'll be more specific. Perhaps I'll set up a wiki page for this. Michael Josh Thompson wrote: > Could we get a link to some image files to use for this testing?
