I am curious-

                If you have Access Control setup on an AP interface, with only 
certain mac addresses allowed, which does it actually allow?  For instance, I 
have numerous super EC units talking to an AP with mac authentication 
instilled, and in it's current setup all mac addresses are bridged in our 
network, including the ones beyond the "range" of the RG super ec units.  This 
means mac addresses translate across the network even though they don't list in 
the AP list of the satellite.  Do I really have to go through and enter every 
mac address beyond the satellite, or just the ones listed in the AP list?

It is important I get an answer, and since I have had no luck with Karlnet, 
(see previous questions), I am up that grand proverbial creek as always.  

And I will ask again,.. KARLENT why is there no mac list that allows everyone 
EXCEPT mac address X?  This would be really nice, seeing as how if you get 
someone spamming your tower with packets, and this equipment dies quickly when 
that happens, it would be nice to be able to fix the problem by just entering 
one mac address instead of 30. Even worse if the tower is a transient user 
spot, than it is useless with the current software setup.  

Getting tired of this.
