https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D268305 --- Comment #4 from topical <topical@gmx.net> --- (In reply to Hans Petter Selasky from comment #1) The only documentation is in the header file. They just state ``` * Allocations from this range are expected to be made using COMMON * SENSE by developers. Do NOT take a large range just because * they're currently wide open. Take the smallest useful range for * your system. We have (2^24 - 2) available addresses (see Reserved * Values below) but that is far from infinite. * * In the event of a conflict arbitration of allocation in this file * is subject to core@ approval. ``` The changelog is quite sparse. The code was added by https://reviews.freebsd.org/D19587 back in 2019 and not really touched since then apart from fixing typos. Of course, it would be better to really document OUI usage. A simple command line program to generate an OUI would be great too, but all this is beyond = this bug report. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
