Roger,
I'm not a native English speaking OM, so this comments helps me a lot: Thanks!
About the string using the mod vars, my bet.
I'm modding the driver with this tips and Dan's ones to re-send the patches...

To print the original, you need:
self._VARIANT += "%d-%d MHz" % (low, high)
The other drivers have the same issues. I don't have time to comment on those right now. You could make these changes to all of them and resubmit, or wait and I'll finish my review of the others when I have a chance.
