IEEE1275 used IEEE assigned OUI strings (Organization Unique Identifiers). Often those are the same as the stock ticker, but not always. Stock ticker is a good choice for new things, but for anything from a vendor which has existing 1275 bindings for its products, I think we should keep the original assigned OUI, even if it differs from the stock ticker. -- David Gibson | I'll have my music baroque, and my code david AT gibson.dropbear.id.au | minimalist, thank you.
