lucent and aironet (later cisco) never made wired cards so
I wouldn't expect that. also, I think that the non-ieee lists
tend to have more/better data on prefixs. I bet snort or etherpeek
or ethereal or sniffer or someone like that has a decent aui list.
also, of course, manufacturers know that no real people use network
management so why bother to document your aui?
a manufacturer who keeps their aui secret is offering to
live in a non-sales-enhancing position...
