Comment 5 for bug 1655049

Interesting point. Here is what I see:

That is netaddr is not sufficiently hardened against the newer ieee-data. While it's conceivable that the actual bug is in ieee-data, it would seem that hardening the code to better deal with it would be good.

The entry that breaks reads:

while the same entry in the working file is:
  00-22-59 (hex) Guangzhou New Postcom Equipment Co.,Ltd.
