Reply To: Multitech Conduit AEP and time

Does not look like fakegps would work.
The packet forwarder looks for an updated time from the gps device.

ref_ok can only be true if gps_enabled is true

        if ((nb_pkt > 0) && (gps_enabled == true)) {
            pthread_mutex_lock(&mx_timeref);
            ref_ok = gps_ref_valid;
            local_ref = time_reference_gps;
            pthread_mutex_unlock(&mx_timeref);
        } else {
            ref_ok = false;
