Package: arp-scan Version: 1.8.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have a number of devices on my network that show up as (unknown) when doing an arp-scan I added entries to "mac-vendor.txt" that should have shown meaningful text instead of unknown. Unfortunately this did not work. Futher experiments showed that for some entries it does work, although I only found 1 specific case where it did. 2 entries from Original arp scan.... 192.xxx.xxx.xxx 00:60:64:94:14:67 NETCOMM LIMITED 192.xxx.xxx.xxx 90:18:7c:48:dd:db (Unknown) after adding the following lines to "mac-vendor.txt" 006064941467 NETCOMM LIMITED - adsl modem 90187c48dddb (Unknown) - device xyz I get...... 192.xxx.xxx.xxx 00:60:64:94:14:67 NETCOMM LIMITED - adsl modem 192.xxx.xxx.xxx 90:18:7c:48:dd:db (Unknown) Nothing I could change including the order of entries, or the length of the mac segment would work for the unknown device or to modify any other known devices. I expected the same behaviour I got for :14:67 on other complete mac addresses. ie: the description to be changed when doing an arp-scan This issue is also present in arp-scan 1.8.1 found on a wheezy (stable) system -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages arp-scan depends on: ii libc6 2.17-92 ii libpcap0.8 1.4.0-2 Versions of packages arp-scan recommends: ii libwww-perl 6.05-1 arp-scan suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
