MAC addresses ranges are assigned to manufacturers. That means looking
at an access point MAC address, you can spot the wireless adapter
manufacturer. You can find such a list at:

But you shouldn't be able to go further the manufacturer information, as
they don't dedicate MAC addresses subranges to specific products lines.
