[Mbm-devel] "No matching key found" mbm_gps_ctrl missing

[Benoît P. <pan...@wo...>]

Hello

On an Thinkpad T420 I had mgm.gpsd working for a couple of years, recently 
under debian wheezy. I know it still worked a week ago as I used xastir which 
got a GPS fix via mbm-gpsd and gpsd.

Now it suddenly stopped working and I can't figure out why. Probably some 
package or even the kernel that got upgraded on wheezy.

I use a kernel with MPTCP patch:

Linux krup.woody.ch 3.11.10.wheezymptcp #27 SMP Mon Apr 7 09:05:07 UTC 2014 
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I pulled the most recend version from GIT, still the same Problem:

oot@krup:~/mbm-gpsd# /usr/local/sbin/mbm-gpsd -f -N -v
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found
No matching key found

** (mbm-gpsd:13378): WARNING **: No GPS devices found. Exiting.

I did what I found on previous list postings:

* Reset BIOS to defaults.
* Sending at*e2reset to all of the three ACM devices (getting OK reply)
* Writing '1' to the rfkill softswitches. (hardware rfkill is off).

Still, HAL does not see the gps_ctrl device:

root@krup:~/mbm-gpsd# lshal | grep mbm
  info.capabilities = {'serial', 'mbm_gps_nmea'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'serial', 'mbm_sms'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'net', 'mbm_net'} (string list)
  info.capabilities = {'serial', 'modem', 'mbm_nm'} (string list)

Any more suggestions?

I don't know if it's related: I don't use the WWAN device. The SIM card is 
inactive and has been inactive for the last years, execpt for a 3 months free 
trial when I got the notebook. I just need the GPS function.

I switched back to the Debian Wheezy stock 3.2.x Kernel... the control device 
is back, GPS works. So it's definitely an issue with the 3.11 kernel.

Does anyone know if MBM GPS is broken in recent kernels?
