Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 3666] Microsoft's OUI truncated to "Microsof"
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3666
--- Comment #15 from Guy Harris <guy@xxxxxxxxxxxx> 2010-09-28 18:08:52 PDT ---
Perhaps we should change the format of the manuf file to have three columns -
OUI, abbreviated name, original name - with the original name made a copy of
the abbreviated name if that column is missing (meaning the old manuf files
would do that, as they have the original name as a comment rather than a
field), with a "struct hashmanuf" having two name elements (we might want to
make the original name a "char *" and mallocate it, rather than having it be an
array).
If we only use the abbreviated name when interpreting MAC addresses, and leave
the abbreviated name at its current length, we'd still need to change the manuf
file - but the change would be to add the third column.
(It's too bad that some of the entries in the IEEE's oui.txt file SHOUT THE
COMPANY NAME AT YOU, but that's life....)
