WICONTROL(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual
WICONTROL(8)
NAME
wicontrol - configure WaveLAN/IEEE devices
...
[-i] iface -m mac_address
Set the station address for the specified interface. The
mac_address is specified as a series of six hexadecimal values
separated by colons, e.g., ``00:60:1d:12:34:56''. This programs
the new address into the card and updates the interface as well.
Yup, mac address filtering is even less useful than WEP. At least WEP
takes *some* effort to crack. ;^)
