# udev rules for gpsd # $Id$ # # GPSes don't have their own USB device class. They're serial-over-USB # devices, so what you see is actually the ID of the serial-over-USB chip. # Fortunately, just two of these account for over 80% of consumer-grade # GPS sensors. The gpsd.hotplug.wrapper script will tell a running gpsd # that it should look at the device that just went active, because it # might be a GPS. # # The following setup works on Debian - something similar will apply on # other distributions: # # /etc/udev/gpsd.rules # /etc/udev/rules.d/025_gpsd.rules -> ../gpsd.rules # /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug.wrapper # /lib/udev/gpsd.hotplug # # Setting the link in /etc/udev/rules.d activates the rule and determines # when to run it on boot (similar to init.d processing). # Prolific Technology, Inc.
