I work for a networking and computer systems designer (XKL LLC) and I
was in the lab sniffing some of our traffic.  I noticed that the version
of Ethereal I'm running identifies MAC addresses starting with

0x00A0E3 as belonging to YangMeiT, but we're pretty sure that anything
in this range should belong to XKL.  Is this a bug in Ethereal, or is
the data that the Ethereal builds with bad?  How can I find out?

The version of Ethereal I'm running is:

Version 0.10.11 

Compiled with GTK+ 2.4.14, with GLib 2.4.8, with libpcap 0.8.3,
with libz 1.2.1.2, without libpcre, with Net-SNMP 5.2.1, without ADNS

Running with libpcap version 0.8.3 on Linux 2.6.11-1.35_FC3smp.

Cheers,
Bryce
