Provide MAC address as option for Per-client blocking

[anon23790887]

Under "Network" PiHole display the MAC address for every device it found.

Now it would be a lot more easy if we can use the MAC address in group management for adding new clients too.

Reason:
If network use IPv6, PiHole list every one (correctly) in the "Network" overview but also under management too which create a long list and create problems if only the IPv4 address is added.
Using the MAC address from a device would solve that and is more persistent as IPv4 and IPv6

Feedback for "Allow defining clients by their MAC address, host name and networking interface"

Started this topic to provide feedback to the new feature allowing clients to be defined by MAC address. I switched to the branches (core still master) by pihole checkout ftl new/mac_clients pihole checkout web new/mac_clients And flushed network table afterwards. Important First thing I noticed in Group management/Clients Known Clients now only contain clients with known MAC, no IPs are listed anymore (I have devices on other Vlans so IP would still be handy).

Moin zusammen wollte das Thema nochmal aufgreifen und bitte um Verständnis.
Wieso kann nicht die MAC Adresse als Erkennungsmerkmal genutzt werden? Eventuell kann man doch so die Problematik mit IPv4 o. IPv6 besser filtern bzw. Geräte im Netzwerk erkennen?
