lucent and aironet (later cisco) never made wired cards so
I wouldn't expect that.  also, I think that the non-ieee lists
tend to have more/better data on prefixs.  I bet snort or etherpeek
or ethereal or sniffer or someone like that has a decent aui list.

also, of course, manufacturers know that no real people use network
management so why bother to document your aui?

a manufacturer who keeps their aui secret is offering to
live in a non-sales-enhancing position...

The problem with this is that manufacturers have the option of not
allowing the IEEE to disclose this and many (most) wireless card
makers also make wired cards that share the same AUI prefix.
