OUI lookups are returning incorrect / corrupt results. Take for

The data in ieee-data is correct:
F4-6D-04 (hex) ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
F46D04 (base 16) ASUSTek COMPUTER INC.
15,Li-Te Rd.,Peitou,

But using the OUI object I get completely incorrect / corrupt results:
>>> oui = OUI('F4-6D-04')
>>> oui
OUI('F4-6D-04')
>>> oui.registration()
{'address': [')\t\tCisco Systems, Inc',
'80 West Tasman Drive',
'San Jose CA 94568',
'US'],

'offset': 821392,
'org': 'eero inc.',
'oui': 'F4-6D-04',
'size': 141}
I suspect that the reason is because this debian package replaces
netaddr/eui/oui.txt with a symlink to /var/lib/ieee-data/oui.txt but
**does not** update the corresponding oui.idx. Thus, the indices are
stale.
This Debian package likely needs to re-generate the indices before shipping.
It's already the case. However, the file can change unexpectedly (for
example, when the user is running update-ieee-data). It seems that
update-ieee-data will execute hooks in /var/lib/ieee-data/update.d. We
could install such a hook. But, we would also need to add a symlink for
the indexes to a directory controlled by the netaddr package.
If you want to try to do that, you are welcome to submit a patch.
In the meantime, you can run python3
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/netaddr/eui/ieee.py as root to fix the
issue. This is not really "clean" (as you erase package-owned data), but
it would work.
