The sysfs paths sometimes change with kernel versions. There are two scripts 
in qtmoko which should have the correct  paths:

/opt/qtmoko/bin/gps-poweron.sh
/opt/qtmoko/bin/gps-poweroff.sh

Qtopia GPS api uses them to power on/off gps. I wonder if i could do something 
to make gpsd working out of the box too.
