I hate to pour cold water on this, but it seems the whole idea of
having a database function to find the manufacturer from an ethernet
address is of questionable value.
Not that it can't be done in /contrib, but it is really important enough
to do? I recommend just removing the function. I doubt anyone would
miss it.
I have added a TODO item:
* Update macaddr manufacturer numbers, or remove the function macaddr_manuf()
