[rewriting your question without assumptions about the solution]

Q: "How do I find what OS/Device is connected to our wifi?"

  1. Don't use mac-addresses to determine endpoint operating systems; mac-addresses are easily spoofed, and vendors can change their wifi PHY ASIC supplier on a whim

  2. Use something like DHCP FingerprintingDHCP Fingerprinting, or better still, Cisco ISE (which does DHCP, HTTP, RADIUS EAP supplicant, and nmap fingerprinting, all in one appliance)
