fun with ieeemac

This week I count have actually used ieeemac when I was writing some scripts to automate packet generation using Click Router.

But of course I was using Ruby so I couldn't take advantage of this.

>>> import ieeemac
>>> import commands
>>> o = commands.getoutput("ifconfig -a")
>>> o
