ieee-data, another discovery today \o/But note that in my sentence, "THEY" did refer to the Ubiquity AP the OP was using, *not* Debian or NM.
I'm curious if the Xen OUI is valid for them (00:16:3e:nn:nn:nn).It appears to be. root@freeman:~# grep 16:3e /var/lib/arpwatch/ethercodes.db 0:16:3e Xensource, Inc.
Again, them == Ubiquity AP ;)Xen recommends using its OUI on vifs, but does not enforce it, in part for the reasons you wrote in your other post.
