  Description     : look up the network interface vendor by MAC

The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) assigns
 an Organizational Unique Identifier (OUI) to manufacturers of network
 interfaces.  Each interface has a Media Access Control (MAC) address
 of six bytes.  The first three bytes are the OUI.
 .
 This module allows you to take a MAC address and turn it into the OUI
 and vendor information.  You can, for instance, scan a network,
 collect MAC addresses, and turn those addresses into vendors.  With
 vendor information, you can often guess at what you are looking
 at (e.g. an Apple product).
 .
 You can use this as a module as its individual functions, or call it
 as a script with a list of MAC addresses as arguments.  The module can
 figure it out.
