Re: [Xastir] New toy, but doesn't work yet.....

[Kurt A. Freiberger]

The percussive impact y'all have probably just heard is the sound of a 
hand hitting a forehead.  I've been looking at that for an hour, and 
never saw it.  We're up!!!

I'll have to take it to the car later and drive around.  This will be so 
great!

Thanks very much!!!!!

Kurt

It's on a MacBook Pro.  I can see the data:

The permissions of the port are:

kosh:dev kurt$ ls -l cu.wwancntl2
crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   17,  11 Jun  5 10:38 cu.wwancntl2

However, comma, when I define it in Xastir, I get an interface error.
It's defined as a Serial GPS on /dev/cu.wwan2cntl2  I left the port 
settings and Port Style on their defaults.

Anybody ever done this before?  I'm thinking that the ioctls to set the 
settings are barfing and resulting in the errors:
         ENOENT ERROR

This is the "No such file or directory" error.  Check your spelling:

crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel   17,  11 Jun  5 10:38 cu.wwancntl2

vs.

/dev/cu.wwan2cntl2
