The contrib/mac directory does something similar wrt fetching data,
using wget to get a file of manufacturer mac addresses to populate the
database as necessary.

Although not everyone will use such a large test database, it certainly
cannot hurt to have someone pursue assembling this as a toolkit, and
running tests if they find that interesting and helpful. It may be hard
to predict if, when, and how we will find this useful until it exists ;)
