Thanks for the patch, now I am getting:
** (geoclue-test-gui:6888): WARNING **: Error getting position: Could
not understand reply from server
** (geoclue-test-gui:6888): WARNING **: Error getting address: Could not
understand reply from server

get current gateway mac address

I also killed all /usr/libexec/geoclue-* instances and again:

not understand reply from server
** (geoclue-test-gui:7185): WARNING **: Error getting address: Could not

to query web service
