Hello,
I'm trying to make a usb GPS (Garmin18) work with a linksys wrtsl54gs.
I'm running on it whiterussian 0.9. I installed the packages
kmod-usb-serial and kmod-usb-serial-pl2303, now as soon as I connect it
to the usb port I see it as /dev/usb/tts/0, and dmesg says:

You do not need any garmin drivers, as long as the device is set to
standard NEMA output, you can install picocom and see the stream.
#picocom -b4800 /dev/tts/0
If it's stuck in binary mode you want see any useful info.
sirfmon is in gpsd utilities and will switch the device back to NMEA
mode s

The device is attached as /dev/usb/tts/0 (after the installation of
kmod-usb-serial and kmod-usb-serial-pl2303, before the installation it
wasn't attacched to any device in the /dev filesystem). If I use
microcom (I don't have picocom packaged for whiterussian) and I set the
speed to 4800 baud I do
Very interesting, I have about a half dozen of the GPS18's in the serial
version and they all work the way as I described. I can't believe they
would lock down only the USB versions to use a proprietary protocol.
Did you try to use sirfmon on a pc to see if it would put it in NMEA
mode? It see
The problem is not the protocol, the GPS should be in NMEA mode. Indeed,
if I connect it to my desktop running Ubuntu it is detected, and I'm
able to get data from it, but just because the correct garmin_gps module
is loaded. The problem is that that module is only available for the
kernels 2.6, an
