 When looking at the MAC address of a interface where some of the HEX
 entries are less than 16, the first 0 is ommited. Thus 0x0c comes out as
 :c:. This is not the standard way (I think).

 The problem is in netdevice.py line 77 (from the head)

 77                 hdigit = hex(ord(char))[2:]

 should instead be

 77                 hdigit = '%02x'%ord(char)

 or similar.

 I can create a patch, but I wanted to see what people think of this first.
 (Thus I've assigned this to me..)
