Wireless MAC Filtering

Deny or allow specific wireless client devices to access my
network by their MAC addresses.
For example, you want the wireless client A with the MAC
address 00-0A-EB-B0-00-0B and the wireless client B with the
MAC address 00-0A-EB-00-07-5F to access the access point,
but other wireless clients cannot access the access point.
