Thanks, I meant to suggest that, indeed. The data is also available in the independent ieee-data package in multiple formats. Cheers, Balint > > Christoph

So, problem solved for me, feel free to close or to wait until somebody else complains about any other file now missing. Oh, and just in case anybody else stumbles across this: To get the actual manufacturer list, "tshark -G manuf" does the trick. Christoph signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Upstream switched from parsing the files to embed the data for faster startup: https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/merge_requests/11387 The MAC vendors list can be listed with "tshark -G" in a format very similar to the previous manuf file. Generating the manuf file at build time with tshark would not work in cross builds, but it could be generated at tshark's install time under /var/lib/tshark . Alternatively make-manuf could be patched to generate the manuf file, too, again, at upstream. > Anyway, can you bring it back? Technically it is possible, but is there a use case where "tshark -G" is not sufficient already? Cheers, Balint > Regards, > > Christoph >

Package: libwireshark-data Version: 4.2.0-1 Severity: normal X-Debbugs-Cc: debian.a...@manchmal.in-ulm.de Greetings, ealier version of the libwireshark-data package shipped a file /usr/share/wireshark/manuf that holds a list of MAC vendors. However, it's no longer present in 4.2.0-1, along with several other files. Was that done by intention? Briefly looking into upstream it seems the raw data is still there but some additional step are needed to build the data file. Anyway, can you bring it back?
