For some reason, I can't highlight and copy a mac address in the DD-WRT web GUI. Whenever I try to highlight it, it deselects by itself the moment I release the mouse button. WTF is this? Why can't I highlight a goddamn mac address?
This happens on all browsers.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you want to select the MAC-address in the status LAN page so you can use it in reserved addresses.

These MAC-addresses are displayed as a link to the OUI-webpage and it's kinda hard to get it properly in your clipboard. It's not impossible! If you use Ctrl-C instead of a right-click.

It would be better if they aren't all displayed as a link.

Alot of this happens because of your refresh rate on dd-wrt's webgui, if its default 3 seconds, yea by the time you highlight, it will refresh itself and thus not allow you time to copy it, if you set it to like 5 seconds, your odds of copying it will then be better and so on.

Its because the page refreshes every 3 seconds....you can change this time on the Administration tab.

It is refreshing before you finish highlighting and copying to the clipboard.

I retract my second, redhawk is right, just increase your refresh time.

My "third" stands, I hate dealing with the hyperlink.
In my opinion, a little OUI button would make life easier.

I like the oui especially on the site survey and the main status page..

highlight from right to left, then ctrl-c to copy, ctrl-v to paste.. I don't have any problem.

A little extra button is easily made.

The problem is with the IE. Use google chrome, then you´ll be able to select and copy (ctrl+c or rightclick)

Ok. I have changed the autorefresh and that fixed the problem. (I had it set to 1 second)
The OUI link doesn't help because it only has a partial mac adress. The browser had nothing to do with this: I tried IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, Safari and even SeaMonkey.
Thank you redhawk0
