OK, I'll work on it for a couple of hours this morning.
I like Alex's suggestion for a standalone macaddr_trunc() function, then
a query which can lookup the brand from the external table.
The enthusiastic (but negative ;) feedback on putting LIKE into the mix
suggests that we should not use that mechanism, so "manuf()" or
"brand()" for an explicit function may be the best way to go.
