This will not survive suspend, though. Better to install gllin version
1.1 (if you have /tmp/nmeaNP you are still using version 1.0),
available at
http://3rdparty.downloads.openmoko.org/gllin/download/gllin_1.1+r931-r0_om-gta01.ipk
(click-through license).

Then change frameworkd.conf to read:

[ogpsd]
device = NMEADevice
channel = GllinChannel
path = /etc/init.d/gllin

This has another benefit as the GPS wont be on all the time, but only
when you need it as GllinChannel will take care of starting/stopping
the init script.
