Hi!

I would _love_ to see that happen, but what about the GPS line discipline that we have today? How would that match up with a char device driver?we have a GPS line discipline? What is that one doing? As far as I know all GPS implementations are fully userspace.Hm, for some reason I thought that was what n_gsm.c was being used for, but I could be wrong, I've never seen the hardware that uses that code...
n_gsm.c seems to be multiplexing support. Splits one serial link into multiple "virtual" serial links. Nothing to do with GPS explicitely, altrough it looks NMEA data is going to go over one of the channels sometimes. I guess we should care about that later...
