Yuck. Let's put it into a (user loadable) table. And rather than having
macaddr_manuf(), we should just have a "sametype()" (or whatever) which
can compare an arbitrary mac address with another one. Then
 select brand from mactypes where '03:04:...' = macmask;

or at least
 select brand from mactypes where sametype('03:04:...',macmask);

would get you the right thing.

I can help with these internals, if that is the right way to head.
