Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Using FTDI device ids from Linux kernel

[Jaap Keuter <jaap.keuter@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Do you have any idea how volatile this data is, how quickly it’s changing?
There are already some data sets which are picked up weekly from external sources (e.g., IEEE manuf, PEN). This could be handled the same way if as volatile as these.

Thanks,
Jaap
