In thinking about some of the MIB work, it occurred to me that
there's a certain lack of symmetry in having the following CVs:
  - mac address and mask
  - mac address list without masks
  - netbios name list with wildcards
In my mind, a mac address mask performs the same function as a
wildcard character in a netbios name.  How would people feel
about combining the first two CVs so instead we allow a list of
mac address/mask pairs?  I think this would be more flexible
and fit a larger number of customer situations.

I too, prefer lists mac addr/mask pairs.

I also prefer the change Peter suggests.
