Hi, brilliant pfSense stuff!

Wrong string in “ MAC address ” txt entry field in “ Services / Wake-on-LAN / Edit ” when press on “ +* ” in “ *Actions ” column in “ Diagnostics / ARP Table ” page in WebGUI.

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.

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

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.
