Good afternoon,  I would like to see the hardware addresses resolv into 
manufacturer/address.    

EG:  00:08:c7:80:48:8e   ==  Compaq:80:48:8e   

Gives you a good quick look at what type of machine is talking.

Any way you put it in there,  it would be nice to be a runtime option.
Click on 'resolve' and redisplay the dump in name format,  click on
'manufacturer' and redisplay in the above format.

That way we can switch back and forth as needed.
