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 >
