Hi There,

I recently set up my opnsense box.  And I need to say I am blown away by this great piece of software. Thanks for your great work.

Regarding a device I own, there was a poor identification of the manufacturer, which I thought it was a device issue:
Quotewhen I going to set a fixed lease for my zidoo Z10 Pro I realized, it was identified by my router as IEEE Registration Authority. - see screenshot last entry

Would be nice if this could be changed to something zidoo related, if it is not hardcoded in the hardware.

A reason the device was identified was brought up by pcristi >> Seems like there are multiple identifiers:
QuoteMany device(router) use only first 3 group(OUI 800a80) to get vendor this will show "IEEE Registration Authority" for Zidoo devices MA-M block (800A805)

So currently OpnSense displays the 80:0A:80 MA-L (Mac Address Block Large (previously named OUI))

Does it make sense to extend the MAC Address identification up the  80:0A:80:5 MA-M (Mac Address Block Medium) ?

Here both of them are displayed next to each other:
