Hi TomLee,

    PROBLEM: How do I interpret MAC Addresses?

    Each ethernet device is assigned a unique hardware address by the
    manufacturer. Manufacturers are each assigned a range of addresses
    that they may use in their manufacturing, so that it is not possible
    for two vendors to assign the same address. These hardware addresses
    are called MAC Addresses.

    SOLUTION:

    You can search by MAC number to find out what vendor's hardware you
    are looking for. An interactive database is available from the IEEE
    for this purpose [http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/index.html].
    You can also check Cavebear's list of Vendor Codes
    [http://www.cavebear.com/CaveBear/Ethernet/vendor.html]
