Oh, we see all sorts of crap coming from other eduroam sites.

Just try and sort it to something standard if possible (i.e.
canonicalise MAC addresses), then log it as-is. It's mostly a
waste of time trying to do any more IMO. Called-Station-Id doesn't
really mean anything to you from a remote site unless you need to
report something to them, then you can just quote it back verbatim.
