*** Question *** GPS

[beursdummy]

Hi ZerBea,

after a long while i upgraded my hardware and so also upgraded the hcxdumptool version to 6.3.5-147-g6cb43de

I now get an error on gpsd and nmea options that are no longer available. Am I missing something or have they been removed and if so from which version on so I could return to that latest version that have them included

I do still see them mentionned in the github manual so I really hope I am overlooking something

Due to performance reasons the entire GPS handling moved from hcxdumptool to new hcxnmealog (which can be run in parallel to hcxdumptool/hcxlabtool).

from changelog:

02.03.2025
==========
replaced hcxdumptool by hcxlabtool
major changes:
removed split screen ACCESS POINT <-> CLIENT
improved attack modes
added RSSI to rcascan
moved entire GPS handling from hcxdumptool to new hcxnmealog (still work on progress)
