Quick update:
GPSD which is the default capture source for Kismet turns my GPS to Sirf mode after rebooting. Either edit the Kismet conf:
gps=true
gpstype=serial
gpsdevice=/dev/ttyS0
gpsreconnect=true
or use the nmea source switch when launching Kismet!
Having the GPS set to Sirf mode will render it useless for anything, and you need to use SirfDemo to re-connect and set the GPS protocol on the GPS. A real pain, and costly timewise. SirfDemo has the ability to brick your GPS too, so use it wisely.
