[feature request]: display NIC vendor of Ethernet address

[Saentist]

Any Linux have PCIIDs database /update-pciids command download/update it/
Let's have this option in WAVEMON, its more easy to know with is "noise" maker.

---

vendor:xx.yy.zz
/vendor + last six hex from mac address/

I don't understand what the purpose or intention is. update-pciids has to do with PCI devices.

wavemon is a networking application, not a PCI device application.

Usb/Pci adapter vendor information as similar way to represent information

update-oui is tool for mac database

Oh I see, display the NIC vendor. This would require additional dependencies (ieee-data on debian/ubuntu or get-oui from arp-scan.c), plus parser, and then UI changes.

I don't have a large time budget for development these days.

even both can be used
USB wifi adapters have strange naming
and AP's with mesh capability fill the channels.
maby in feature there will be option to group mesh devices

PCI vendor can be useful here

OUI vendor /2 mesh devices 2.4 and 5 ghz band/
