Delete branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Use the IEEE OUI CSV list to detect the manufacturer of detected host NICs based on their MAC address.
Although I could mirror the file on this repository, I would like for the OUI list to be downloaded at build time, as a dependency. This would eliminate the need to constantly update the mirrored file to reflect upstream changes. That being said, I am not sure if this is possible to achieve with npm/ng.
This should be an opt-out feature. A new preference may be added to the web app preferences dialog to address this.

This is now doable after the inclusion of the web app source preparing script1.
02ff5b4d76/client/utils/prepare.ts↩︎I am considering whether the detection of the MAC address OUI should be implemented in the web app client or directly in the server/library. This would save a lot of trouble for those who are already using liblanbassador or the Lanbassador server from having to implement this on their own.
This feature may be added directly to liblanbassador, with a configure option to disable it (e.g.,
./configure --without-oui-detection) which will be enabled by default.
