I have no strong feelings for or against oui.db. It is nice to have the vendor names decoded in sysfs, although the footprint is considerable: $ du oui.o ieee1394.ko 252K oui.o 356K ieee1394.ko OTOH, nobody is forced to compile it in. And except for the Makefile patch and .gitignore patch which came in this month, oui.db does not impose a real maintenance burden. The fact that we are too lazy to update the db saves us work too. :-) BTW, oui.db has 7048 entries but IEEE lists 8949 today. Either people vote oui.db off the island now, or I will submit an update. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-==- ---= ===== http://arcgraph.de/sr/
