Hi,
What do you think about using a MAC-address-specific comparison
function? I.e., one that is not only case-independent, but that also
knows leading zeros are unnecessary?
i.e., it would admit that these two match:
00:0A:FF:3A:00:09
0:a:ff:3a:0:9
That would be a little more user friendly.
Yes, we should add a helper function for comparing mac addresses for
equality.
Dan.
