Because for want of not wanting to sound too sarcastic,... its an IP filter?
ipfilter = an IP filter ???
MAC address filtering is lower down the OSI model and in general there are
other tools in you're OS other than you're firewall to provide functionality
for blocking based on MAC addresses.
To use a Linux comparission:
iptables ~= ipfilter and blocks/filters/allows IP traffic
ebtables ~= cisco ios mac address filtering on a bridge
