Bug Description

When trying to run `update-ieee-data`:

# update-ieee-data
Updating /var/lib/ieee-data//oui.txt
 Checking permissions on /var/lib/ieee-data//oui.txt
 Downloading http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt to /var/lib/ieee-data//oui.txt
wget -q -O- http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/oui.txt exit with 8

It seems the url are simply wrong in the script. all the files are at http://standards-oui.ieee.org/ now.

Just update the script with the correct url. Thanks
