      Hi all. I would like to ask a question about packages list. I have a pfsense box, recenlty updated to 2.0.3.Everything works fine.
      I have also some packages installed with no problem. Today i wanted to install the 2 years old package, mactovendor. In the repository

      https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/tree/master/config

      there is this package.
      When i look at my pfsense boxes package list list there are some packages missing (although if i choose to install any package of these available it installs without a problem). Is it possible that NOt all packages appear on my pfsense's package list? strange…

      Thank you for any reply.

        When packages are disabled, there's good reason for it.

        those capabilities are included in the base system.

          Hi, thank you for the reply. So, is there any kind of  mac vendor information currently in base system? Cause i can't find it sincerely. I mean a function like "OUI" that many ddwrt and tomato router firmwares has and redirects you to a page with vendor information.

          Thanks.

            You need to have the nmap package installed since it carries with it the vendor database.

            Once you have that installed it will show them automatically in places like the DHCP leases and ARP table.
