AIN Comm.Tech.Co., LTD — 00:0D:2F (MA-L)
Summary
- // what this is
- AIN Comm.Tech.Co is registered to MAC prefix
00:0D:2Fin the IEEE OUI database. When a device's MAC address begins with00:0D:2F, that block was registered by AIN Comm.Tech.Co — the OUI identifies the maker of the network hardware, which is not always the brand on the device. - // analyst note
- No CVEs or security advisories found for this vendor or product (absence of findings, not confirmed-clean). Likely a defunct early-2000s Taiwanese Wi-Fi OEM rather than an active company today.
About this vendor.
AIN Comm.Tech.Co., LTD is a Taiwan-based registrant holding a single IEEE MA-L block, 00:0D:2F, registered at 4F, No.76, Sec2 Mintzu Rd, Jung-Li City, TW 320. Unlike many single-OUI shell registrations that leave no trace beyond the bare IEEE record, this vendor has a corroborating independent identifier: a USB Implementers Forum Vendor ID, 12FD, assigned to the same company name — typically a sign of a firm that actually shipped USB hardware rather than one that merely reserved an Ethernet address block for internal use. Third-party device catalogs and the Linux driver community both document a concrete product built on that vendor ID: the AWU2000b, an 802.11b USB Wi-Fi adapter based on the Atmel AT76C503/AT76C505 chipset family, referenced in Debian's at76_usb driver documentation — an independent open-source project with no relationship to MAC-address lookup aggregators. That combination — a second, independently-administered identifier registry plus a named, chipset-identified retail product cited outside the MAC-lookup ecosystem — is enough to distinguish AIN Comm.Tech.Co., LTD from a bare paperwork-only OUI shell, even though no current corporate website, business-registry filing, or LinkedIn presence could be located, suggesting the company is likely defunct today rather than actively operating.
