The problem is here..  $mac is invalid because it's nonexistent..

This logger line is what outputs the above error.  Notice that $mac isn't shown 
in the error.  I suspect that whatever clean_mac() does, it's returning an 
empty value.

I'm not in a position to look at the code right this moment, but I'd start 
there.
