It's been a while since I have had this problem, but now it happened again.

hciconfig hci0 reset did not help.

As far as I can see, no there isn't.

I can bind the GPS receiver to /dev/rfcomm0 and then cat -u /dev/rfcomm0 outputs the GPS sentences. I can even start gpsd by hand and it seems to work (/usr/sbin/gpsd -N -D 2 /dev/rfcomm0). Still the usage through gpsbt_start doesn't work. Really odd.
