Thanks for the effort!
In the first LinuxPPS paragraph please write my name correctly ;-).
Also: the patches are adapted from Rodolfo's work(!).
I just made them apply to 2.6.16. (minor rejects which needed manual work)
Maybe you can mention Rodolfo and link to his LinuxPPS site?

Other stuff:

Maybe explain that good reception is needed (clock faults...), that the
8250 module needs to be loaded or rather be compiled into the kernel.
One can check dmesg to see if PPS is received.
Maybe mention the link to ntp driver 20
(http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/drivers/driver20.html) which
in summary shows how to configure the Garmin GPS?

Kind regards,
Udo
