| # This script is intended for using the Ericsson F5521gw (HP HS2340) WWAN card | |
| # with GPSd. As of now (d13/m12/2018) it is still unusable with GPSd without | |
| # configuring it first; however, GPSd does not send the Hayes AT command | |
| # in the first place to start up the GPS. The solution is to send the AT | |
| # commands, set the connection used for sending it to "sleep", and then | |
| # use the device normally. This should seriously be done by GPSd instead. |
