A script to run a quick network device inventory
Authored by: inextenza on Oct 14, '04 05:13:30PM

inox ~/Desktop/Downloads/Net-MAC-Vendor-0.21> sudo make -i -k install
Password:
Installing /Library/Perl/5.8.1/Net/MAC/Vendor.pm
Installing /man/man3/Net::MAC::Vendor.3
Writing ///Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/auto/Net/MAC/Vendor/.packlist
Appending installation info to ///System/Library/Perl/5.8.1/darwin-thread-multi-2level/perllocal.pod
inox ~/Desktop/Downloads/Net-MAC-Vendor-0.21> cd -
~/Desktop
inox ~/Desktop> ./netinv.pl
You don't have the Net::MAC::Vendor module - ./netinv.pl will use it's own feeble version.
^C

snif :-(

So, why my Airport Extreme Base Station isn't listed? (tested from a Laptop connected on it by WiFi, and a linux box connected on a switch)?

Maybe I just wasn't paying attention when I compiled this, but the pathnames above look pretty screwed up. "///System/Library/...." ?? What's the deal with the triple slashes?

Hope I'm not showing my ignorance here.

I also noticed that forcing an install in this manner leaves you with a stray "Man" folder at the root of the drive. I just deleted it.

Sorry this didn't work for you!
