So we thought in March.  Now we know better.

Look again, it is there.  For comparision grep the source of other
USB serial for TIOCMWAIT.  Read the adjacent code for context and you'll
see how it works.

And from what we hear the vendor driver is not good.  Eric has
more detail on that.

Which gets outside the scope of gpsd.  If you can get the kernel driver
fixed then have at it, until then it is off our plate.
