Hmmmm, I thought you could do variable assignment straight from the
command line. That is, if your code has a global variable named 'freq'
(int freq), you could just assign this on the command line with
%insmod module freq=1024
Because the first value is a digit, the kernel should consider the value
an integer. I think the LDP on Module indicates this as well
(http://metalab.unc.edu/LDP/LDP/lkmpg/node11.html).
What you seem to be doing is reparsing strings to get integers.
