i cant use that driver. it requires kernel pps patch which i do not have

reference which gave me a link to a site that has current patches so i am
going to be a bit busy setting up a pps kernel which i understand is the best
way to go.
No it doesn't, that's the beauty of it. It runs as a daemon in the
background, supplying the PPS signal from the GPS. I use it because I do
not want to patch the kernel with LinuxPPS. Like you said though, patching
the kernel would probably be the best way.
There is no functional difference between getting PPS via that daemon
and using gpsd. But gpsd allows access to the positioning and
visibility data from a GPS receiver.
