  Description     : control daemon for Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband / GPS devices

The GPS control software is developed with gpsd in mind. This means that gpsd
will work with the pseudo-devices published by mbm-gpsd which in turn means
that any gps application that uses gpsd will also work with the Ericsson
modules. While it is possible to use the devices published by the modules
directly (basic funcionality by sending AT-commands manually), mbm-gpsd will
make things alot easier. For example it will automatically turn the gps on/off
when clients connect, enter the pin/puk code and enable assisted gps mode which
requires user interaction. For user interaction a control application;
mbm-gps-control is also available.
