Sorry, but thanks for playing.  Breaks on non-Ethernets.

There is a reason I try to talk about "hardware address" and not
"Ethernet address" or "MAC address" (although I didn't really in this
thread) -- PXELINUX is deliberately agnostic about the type of network
it is talking to.  This is the reason the hardware address is formatted
the way it is in the query, and that needs to be maintained.
