Details

Description:
MAC address octets with their highest bit set get printed as 32-bit hex values. For example: "MAC address is: ffffff80:ffffff80:ffffff80:00:00:00"

Considering that this bug is still present in the latest released version, has been a known bug for at least eight years, and no newer releases of iftop have been made since the bug was reported, I think the existing fix (see link in "Additonal info") should be added to this package.

Additional info:
* Package version: 1.0pre4-4
* Upstream bug report and patch to fix it: https://lists.beasts.org/pipermail/iftop-users/2014-March/000413.html

Steps to reproduce:
1. Run iftop.
2. Quit iftop.
3. Note the printed MAC address.
