 I may have discovered the cause of the device / vendor discrepancy. Joe seems to be looking at /sys/class/net/devincename/device... perhaps this points to a different device id. I'll have to check it out.

 Quick edit to gatherer to convert the device and vendor tags to decimal instead of hex. The reason they didn't match before was 
 because in the sql database, they are stored as decimal (I guess cuz you can't store hex in mysql).

+Writer is "feature complete". The mail (non-data) class is Check_sql. Besides new, it's main methods are check and update. They respectively compare the xmldata against sql and update the database if the data doesn't match. I'd like to be more "indpendent" of the form of the xmldata, but that would involve a lot more dummy varibles and searching of hashes.

+Big TODO is mostly rescuing errors. First on the list is connect retries. Class interface descriptions to follow soon.
