Hi Tomas,

we don't have a GPS subsystem, but even without it, I think this is a
good thing to have.
GPS devices are usually serial devices.
Yeah, this is interesting -- do we want something like /dev/urfkill
(cf. /dev/uinput), so that gpsd or whatever is controlling the GPS (same
applies for 3G) can be controlled with rfkill?
Sorry don't know much about /dev/uinput what is difference between
/dev/urfkill and /dev/rfkill, can you be, please more verbose
the uinput allows you to write a input driver in userspace. So with
urfkill you could in theory write a RFKILL switch as a userspace
program.

Regards

Marcel
