  Where is my GPS on BackTrack?

  I have some experience on Linux, but not much. But I need to use Kismet to gather statistics on the use of WEP and WPA. Kismet does see networks. The next step is to connect my GPS to Kismet. I have googled and youtube'd for days. And I am not much wiser. I do need some guidance.
  
  Articles and forums tell me that I need to find it in BackTrack first. Ok. I haven't the slightest clue as to where to look for it. But my google quest has brought me to this.
  
  command: lsusb
  answer: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1390:5454 TOMTOM B.V
  also: If my GPS stops after a while and I restart it, everything in this command stays the same except Device which can change.
  
  Further googling and BackTrack forums gives me this:
  "This is so easy. All you have to do is "dmesg" and there you go". Ok.
  command: dmesg | less
  answer: pages and pages.
  Question: What am I looking for? Bus? Device? TOMTOM? ID? I certainly cannot find TOMTOM.
  
  Yet, further googling gives me this:
  "Usually it's at /dev ttyUSB0". Ok. I have no ttyUSB0.
  Question? Is this what I want? Or need? Do I have to make a ttyUSB0 or can it be somewhere else?
  
  For the fun of it, I did try a "/etc/init.d/gpsd stop .. and restart and it seemed like the GPS connected in some way with a JSON response.
  
  I did do a ls command on gps and gpsd and there are plenty of pages that pop up. So I guess everything is installed for this to work.
  
  For the experienced this is probably simple. Or at least they might know what to search for or the correct google strings to get somewhere. I have tried plenty. Googling, YouTubing, different forums including BackTrack and Kismet.
  
  Please, guide me in the right direction. What am I looking for?
  Using a Toshiba Satellite M645 with BackTrack 5 R1 installed on the harddrive. KDE 64-bit.
  GPS is a TomTom (1005 - Norwegian number).
  
  The end result is off course that it connects to Kismet. Yes, I have read the forum rules and right now, Kismet is not the problem. Finding it in BackTrack is the main priority.
