Do you know about str.startswith()
http://docs.python.org/library/stdtypes.html#str.startswith

Since your data is so well defined I think it would be simpler to just
read each line, strip whitespace, use startswith() to check for
"Searching for OPUSH on" and "Channel:"

You can slice to pull out the mac address and the channel number like so:

>>> s = "Searching for OPUSH on 00:1D:FD:06:99:99"
>>> s[23:]
'00:1D:FD:06:99:99'   # this will work if no other text follows the mac address
>>> s[23:41]
'00:1D:FD:06:99:99' # this will work to just capture the mac address
>>>

For the Channel number, after stripping whitespace, take the slice from s[9:]

Searching for OPUSH on 00:1D:FD:06:99:99 ...
    Channel: 9
