My statement still stands, even if I was not quite as clear as I could
have been.  I meant to say something like the following:  If you read
the network interface(s), and find one (and only one needed) MAC which
you can correlate to a certain network, you are finished.  No?

Same goes here, no?  Find a single match, game over.  Especially when
you have the MAC addresses for the routers and switches handy to look
up, right?
