They're different; and listing the description string looks more
important to the user than listing the MAC.
The top 24 bits of the MAC are *assigned* by manufacturer.
Print the low 24 bits as 6 hex digits (possibly with no punctuation),
and chop the description string after 22 characters (for example.)
My python-fu is far too weak to start hacking on Anaconda. I was only
trying to make a point from a user's perspective (who might not even
know what a MAC address is).
