ADI Engineering, Inc. — 00:08:A2 (MA-L)

A MAC address beginning 00:08:A2 identifies hardware registered to ADI Engineering, Inc., an embedded-networking hardware company headquartered in Charlottesville, Virginia. IEEE's registry holds only this single MA-L block under the company's name, with no additional prefixes found under it.

ADI's best-documented product is "Coyote," a reference gateway board built on Intel's IXP422/IXP425 XScale network processor, targeted at ADSL gateways/routers, wireless access points, and integrated access devices. The board carried WAN Ethernet, 802.11a/b, USB, serial, and two Mini-PCI expansion slots, and shipped with upstream Linux kernel support.

In September 2015, ADI Engineering was acquired by Silicom Ltd., a publicly traded Israeli networking-hardware vendor, for roughly $10 million. ADI became Silicom's "ADI Engineering" division under founder and CEO Steve Yates, who stayed on as division president; the product line subsequently broadened into data-center and SDN network appliances.

A data-quality caveat applies to this OUI's dates. Third-party MAC-vendor lookup databases list "14 December 2001" and "17 November 2015" as registration/update dates, but IEEE's own public OUI data publishes no date metadata at all — these figures are third-party database artifacts, not IEEE-sourced facts, and should not be cited as IEEE registration dates.

No CVEs, security advisories, or documented vulnerabilities specifically attributed to ADI Engineering hardware or firmware were found; this reflects an absence of findings rather than a confirmed clean record.

Third-party date caveat

hwaddress.com / maclookup.app list "14 December 2001" (registered) and "17 November 2015" (updated) for this OUI; IEEE's public OUI data publishes no date metadata for registrations, so these are third-party database artifacts, not IEEE facts, and are not recorded here as an IEEE registration date

Analyst note

Single-OUI registrant, but a substantive, identifiable company — not a bare shell registration — given the named Coyote/IXP422 product line, named founder/CEO, trade-press coverage, upstream Linux kernel driver entry, and a confirmed, multi-source-reported 2015 acquisition by publicly traded Silicom Ltd.
