Its quite easy to setup.

1) check /etc/init.d/fso-gpsd and set -S parametr to ip:port where ip is
ie ip address of your wifi interface on neo where you would like to access gpsd
from laptop, and port you can keep default gpsd.

2) on laptop check that this ip address is available with ping and then
set address of gpsd in tangogps last tab to that ip.

3) if something goes wrong, check port availability with nmap and gps
data on laptop side with gpspipe.
