Hi!

I would like to ask you to reconsider addition of field representing MAC 
address. There was similar ticket created 7 years ago: 
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/2239 and it was closed with wontfix.

I use Django in many projects and a lot of them are related to IP networks. 
In many situations I need to deal with mac addresses (Ethernet addresses in 
wired networks, wireless radio cards addresses, BSSIDs, radio cards 
addresses in access points, Bluetooth addresses, etc). PostgreSQL provides 
native support for macaddr data type:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/datatype-net-types.html#DATATYPE-MACADDRin
 other databases it can be represented as char(17).

If you agree to add new field type I can prepare patch against current code.

Kind regards,
Patryk
