I manually added the MAC addresses using proto_tree_add_ether().

I thought there was a better way.

Thanks in advance

If the MAC addresses are just present in the normal way like an Ethernet header. proto_tree_add_item() would be easier and better in this situation. You should only have to use proto_tree_add_ether() when you need to transform the bytes in the buffer in some way. With proto_tree_add_item you won't have to fetch the bytes from the buffer first and pass them back.
