Enhancement suggestion: MAC OUI lookup #1

Open wifinigel opened 5 years ago

wifinigel commented 5 years ago

Add MAC OUI lookup to provide manufacturer info of discovered clients. Maybe use this project: https://github.com/hdm/mac-ages

The OUI lookup has been implemented using the 'manuf' module. However, this appears to have added to the already slow load times of the script, as it reads in a large flat file. A better solution may be to read in the OUI list in to a sqlite DB the first time the script is run, then perform DB lookups as required during normal operation. Local caching may also help for popular OUIs...?

I can look into using the new backend datastore for this. I'll add it to my queue to look at.
