Well if someone is interested in a quick 'n' dirty hack, I could help
out, because I modified the above files to provide a third type as Josh
suggested. At least the benchmark_tx and benchmark_rx are working with
it using USRP2s.
It's quite ugly though and in my opinion, since UHD is already providing
what generic_usrp.py is doing (more or less) and my fix only imitating
the old API it's far from being really useful for more than a quick fix.

Yeah, but I guess the unified UHD interface simplifies this if we don't
have to pay attention to break backwards compatibility.

I'll try to work on this / started working on it, but I can't promise
anything ...  ;-) I'll keep you updated.

Happy hacking,
