Restricting access by MAC addresses

Jalonet
Hi, we're using ASL6.
Is it possible to apply restrictions on incoming traffic according to MAC addresses ? Possibly inconjunction with IP addresses?
In particular thinking about securing wireless networks.

Cheers
J.

    No, it's not possible (yet).

    If you like to secure Wireless LAN, here's another idea:
    Put your WLAN Access Point to a DMZ interface (say eth3).
    Configure your AP and your clients as usual (if possible, for ex. WPA2).

    Don't allow any direct access via eth3.
    Configure VPN on your client PCs (either PPTP or L2TP, or use Astaro Secure Client).
    Give access only via VPN.

    In practical means: IF someone would gain access to your WLAN network,
    it'll be useless, because he cannot reach any point of interest.
    He would have to hack also your VPN
