MAC address filtering is entirely AP-side, theres no support required
from the drivers. You're still transmitting unsecured data and anyone
with enough interest in getting in could spoof your MAC.

Its very much an additional level of protection (well, fustration for
anyone trying to get in), not a primary method.
