If the MAC addresses are just present in the normal way like an Ethernet
header. proto_tree_add_item() would be easier and better in this situation.
You should only have to use proto_tree_add_ether() when you need to
transform the bytes in the buffer in some way. With proto_tree_add_item you
won't have to fetch the bytes from the buffer first and pass them back.
