First you have to install gpsd (it will tell you if it's already installed):
# opkg install gpsd
Then:
# echo "GPS_DEV=\"/dev/ttySAC1\"" > /etc/default/gpsd
and then restart gpsd:
# /etc/init.d/gpsd restart
The restart command has failed for me a couple of times (cant remember on
which image) so just "stop" and "start" it if it fails.

I hope this helped :-)
