Examples where module/parts manufacturer are different from the chassis:

  • Optics/twinax/DAC in NICs
  • Server NICs (SolarFlare, Intel, etc.)

Also, modules and parts can add more ports.

Modules were originally intended to store information gleaned through automated inventory, e.g. show inventory (Cisco IOS) or show chassis hardware (Junos). AFAIK it's not possible to determine a vendor this way, so that wasn't added as a field.

I think it makes sense to add an optional manufacturer field to the Module model. Should this be tied to the Manufacturer model (as DeviceTypes are) or a freeform text field?

I would tie it to manufacturer model. Free form allows for mistakes. From an inventory / search I'd want to be able to find out how many of a x model in an environment when it comes to recalls or upgrades.
