However, Greg Troxel's bug report *does* seem to
be Mac-specific. We have *a* Mac bug even if it's not your Mac bug,
and as Gary Miller points out we have nobody with strong enough Mac-fu
to fix it.
Then there is something very simple you can try, which is what I would do:
1. Start with the device and Ubuntu reset to a clean state.
2. Launch gpsd with the Bluetooth device on the command line and the -b
option to prevent autobauding.
3. Observe it operating.
4. Power down the device and terminate gpsd
5. Repeat step 2.
If you find the device comes up on step 5, then we know that -b is an
effective workaround and we can finger bad Bluetooth firmware as the
cause of the problem.
