Thanks for the pointer! I've just added information about macchiato on this ticket page (commit 7d14e1c6). Don't hesitate contributing to the OUI list shipped with macchiato; as upstream puts it [1]: If you have a common computer, then feel free to post a comment below listing your OUI prefixes of your network adapters. make sure to specify which category of network adapter each OUI prefix corresponds to. Or you can send a pull request on the macchiato GitHub repository. Or the Bitbucket one. Whichever you prefer.
