	Not within what bash alone can do for you.
	Working on your 'ends' value, and guessing
	it's a 32-bit integer gives the following.

dhcp-189(niall)3: pint
pint> $foo = "45:77:17:9e"
45:77:17:9e
pint> $foo =~ s/://g
3
pint> join(':', gmtime(hex $foo))
54:18:19:6:11:106:3:339:0
pint> ^D
dhcp-189(niall)4:

	That looks like Wed, 06 Dec 2006 19:18:54 (7:18:54 pm).
