ORBIT-USER: Kernel module.. need help and suggestion

[Mesut Ali Ergin]

Arinto,

GPSR has been around for quite some time, and I'd be surprised if 
someone has not yet implemented it for linux already. My first Google 
search found one linux implementation from USC:

http://enl.usc.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/gpsr-linux/

If you are really short in time and do not want to re-invent the wheel, 
I would recommend you start looking to that direction.

Regards,
