[Xastir] A minor miracle.....and another issue with gpsd....

[Richard E. Polivka]

Well, the value ended up being 30 and it is dividing the value that is 
being put into the $GPRMC sentence for land speed. At least is close 
enough for jazz and 40 MPH on the speedo read out at 38 on xastir (that 
ratio is correct for that speed). At least progress is being made on 
this end.

Now to fix the hang on pci hotplug on boot-up.....
