As I said, I think:

Because this feels like a half-implemented feature that turns into
an annoyance. Can we just remove the "Unknown" printing?



I also don't see a really good way to solve the problem you
want solved (though I don't realy want it solved...).

One approach would be to do a realtime lookup of OUIs,
such as in the DNS.

Put them in OUI.ARPA (or oui.tcpdump.org) and look them up
when -n is not specified? Maybe?
