Joe, fix this directly like we did for VLAN, by changing
these spots away from print_mac().

We can do work on this other idea of yours independantly.
All you do by bringing it up is distract things and defer
the fix even further.

You've already wasted more than a month not fixing this
like you said you would, and you added this regression
so it is your responsibility to fix this in a timerly
manner.

Please remove print_mac() usage from these spots in the
code as requested by Patrick.

Thank you.
