This field is defined in dictionary.redback


ATTRIBUTE       Mac-Addr                                145     string



The change from 'MAC_Address' to 'Mac-Addr' was made as part of SVN 28996

Update dictionary files from FreeRadius 2.1.6 [5/18/09]: part 2:
Modified files w/o conflicts with current Wireshark radius dictionary files.


(Aside: Not previously having looked at this part of the radius code it 
surprises me a bit that the radius 'filter names' derived from the 
attribute names aren't qualified by the 'vendor name'.

Maybe the 'hf[]' array entries generated from the dictionay files are 
really only intended to be used for specifying the 'display' format in 
the packet-details display and thus the filter names aren't really 
intended to be used).
