Exactly.
The GPS of the FreeRunner was/(is) so cool, that it even beats modern 
Garmins. I got fixes within closed rooms where the Garmins didn't.
Now I don't get a fix at all, even outdoor.

At least I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with this issue. But I 
don't think it's a tangoGPS thing, because gpspipe also reports nothing 
(see previous mail), so my feeling is that it is a kernel related 
question.
I'm just wondering that everybody is happy with a broken GPS since March?
