See if you have /proc/net/nicinfo/*.info on your system... will simplify this entire process....

EDIT. Had some more time to work on this. You may find the following useful:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

AWK="/usr/bin/awk"
CURL="/usr/bin/curl"
CUT="/usr/bin/cut"
ECHO="/bin/echo"
GREP="/bin/grep"
IFCONFIG="/sbin/ifconfig"
SED="/usr/bin/sed"
TR="/usr/bin/tr"

URL="http://www.coffer.com/mac_find/?string="

function get_interfaces {
  INTERFACES=$( ${IFCONFIG} -a | ${GREP} "^eth" | ${AWK} '{print $1}' )
}

function get_vendors {
  for INTERFACE in ${INTERFACES}; do
     MAC=$( ${IFCONFIG} ${INTERFACE} | ${GREP} "HWaddr" | ${AWK} '{print $NF}' )
     VENDOR=$( ${ECHO} "${MAC}" | ${CUT} -d":" -f1-3 )
     HTTPVENDOR=$( ${ECHO} "${VENDOR}" | ${SED} 's/:/%3A/g' )
     LOOKUP=$( ${CURL} "${URL}${HTTPVENDOR}" 2>/dev/null | ${SED} -n '/strong>[ ]*MAC Address/,/<\/pre>/ p' | ${GREP} -v '>' | ${TR} -s ' ' )
     ${ECHO} "Interface: ${INTERFACE}  Vendor: ${LOOKUP}"
  done
}

get_interfaces
get_vendors

exit 0

Ran this on a few of my Linux systems:

Code:

# ./get_nic_vendor.sh 
Interface: eth0  Vendor:  00144F Sun Microsystems, Inc
Interface: eth1  Vendor:  00144F Sun Microsystems, Inc
Interface: eth2  Vendor:  00144F Sun Microsystems, Inc
Interface: eth3  Vendor:  00144F Sun Microsystems, Inc
# ./get_nic_vendor.sh 
Interface: eth0  Vendor:  009027 intel corporation
# ./get_nic_vendor.sh 
Interface: eth0  Vendor:  000D56 Dell PCBA Test
Interface: eth1  Vendor:  000D56 Dell PCBA Test

Cheers,
ZB

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dpkg::vendor

Dpkg::Vendor(3) 						   libdpkg-perl 						   Dpkg::Vendor(3)

NAME

       Dpkg::Vendor - get access to some vendor specific information

DESCRIPTION

       The files in /etc/dpkg/origins/ can provide information about various vendors who are providing Debian packages. Currently those files look
       like this:

	 Vendor: Debian
	 Vendor-URL: http://www.debian.org/
	 Bugs: debbugs://bugs.debian.org

       If the vendor derives from another vendor, the file should document the relationship by listing the base distribution in the Parent field:

	 Parent: Debian

       The file should be named according to the vendor name.

FUNCTIONS

       $fields = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_info($name)
	   Returns a Dpkg::Control object with the information parsed from the corresponding vendor file in /etc/dpkg/origins/. If $name is
	   omitted, it will use /etc/dpkg/origins/default which is supposed to be a symlink to the vendor of the currently installed operating
	   system. Returns undef if there's no file for the given vendor.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_file($name)
	   Check if there's a file for the given vendor and returns its name.

       $name = Dpkg::Vendor::get_current_vendor()
	   Returns the name of the current vendor. If DEB_VENDOR is set, it uses that first, otherwise it falls back to parsing
	   /etc/dpkg/origins/default.  If that file doesn't exist, it returns undef.

       $object = Dpkg::Vendor::get_vendor_object($name)
	   Return the Dpkg::Vendor::* object of the corresponding vendor.  If $name is omitted, return the object of the current vendor.  If no
	   vendor can be identified, then return the Dpkg::Vendor::Default object.

       Dpkg::Vendor::run_vendor_hook($hookid, @params)
	   Run a hook implemented by the current vendor object.
