Related wireshark forum comment suggests to download the file (as suggested by @wjholden), or to create it with tshark -G manuf.

You can do so by

PS> cd "C:\Program Files\Wireshark"
PS> tshark -G manuf > manuf

I believe the manuf file is also no longer provided on Windows. You can manually install it with something like curl https://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/data/manuf -o 'C:\Program Files\Wireshark\manuf' to suppress the message WARNING: Wireshark is installed, but cannot read manuf !.

Is the file needed to run? In Windows it'll log a warning which confuses my customers as the program runs just fine.

scapy/scapy/arch/windows/__init__.py

Line 213 in 0a2b2bc

log_loading.warning("Wireshark is installed, but cannot read manuf !") # noqa: E501

Can we lower the log level? Or warn when the file is actually needed?

This will be fixed in 2.6.0.

Having wireshark installed but no manuf file was very unexpected before it was recently removed, so the warning made a lot of sense.
