Does anyone else feel like killing oui.c?
I have no strong feelings for or against oui.db. It is nice to have the
vendor names decoded in sysfs, although the footprint is considerable:
$ du oui.o ieee1394.ko
252K oui.o
356K ieee1394.ko
OTOH, nobody is forced to compile it in. And except for the Makefile
patch and .gitignore patch which came in this month, oui.db does not
impose a real maintenance burden. The fact that we are too lazy to
update the db saves us work too. :-)
BTW, oui.db has 7048 entries but IEEE lists 8949 today. Either people
vote oui.db off the island now, or I will submit an update.
