As You may see, pfSense php logic doing something wrong: put in “MAC Address” entry field WHOLE text (certain MAC and DESCRIPTION, in this particular case “IBM” word) from “MAC Address” column.
- Project changed from pfSense to pfSense Packages
- Category changed from Web Interface to Nmap
- Status changed from New to Confirmed
- Priority changed from Normal to Very Low
- Release Notes deleted (
Default)

This is an issue when installing nmap, as it adds the vendor information to the list and pfSense itself does not have that information normally, so the code doesn't expect anything other than a MAC address to be present.
I can confirm this with
23.09.1-RELEASE (amd64)
built on Wed Dec 20 13:27:00 EST 2023
FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT
nmap 1.4.4_7
- Project changed from pfSense Packages to pfSense
- Category changed from Nmap to Diagnostics
- Release Notes set to Default
Though installing nmap activates the OUI info in the field, the code to handle that is not in the nmap package, but in the base system pages which utilize that data.
this still happens with the field for MAC address when creating a WOL entry from Diagnostics>ARP Table menu using pfSense 24.11 and nmap 1.4.4_8
removing nmap package seems to eliminate the additional data that gets populated in the field when creating a WOL entry
