MAC based Filtering in ASL 5...

Is there a way to apply rules based on MAC Addresses since our requirement is to restrict users who can easily change their IP Addresses [:S]
I have just upgraded to ASL 5.101

A prompt reply will be highly appreciated...

I agree, it would be nice if you could use mac addresses in some instances such as bandwith throttling, and surf protection.

You can do it in the wireless AP config, but only for wireless users of course.

Also, you can do static DHCP mapping based on MAC address.
I don't know what would happen if a reserved MAC tried to use a different IP though.

By the way. It is also possible to change the MAC address of a NIC. OK, it's not as easy as changing an IP address.

i would find it also nice to restrict the internet access on mac adresses. on my system the local users are not reported correctly with there ip adresses so this would be an another nice way.
does anybody know if it will come with asl 6?
