MAC address vendor

Ever wonder what information you can derive from a MAC address (eg. 50-e5-49-12-34-56)? Well, the first 6 letters uniquely identifies the manufacturer of the device. Eg. MAC addresses starting with 50E549 are from Gigabyte. You can download the whole list of manufacturer OUI (ORGANIZATIONALLY UNIQUE IDENTIFIER) from here. Or you can use a lookup service like this.
