Hi,

I'm running 4.7-Release, and I have compiled the firewall into the kernel
but I can't seem to figure out the syntax for mac address based firewalls
.

I'm trying:

box#ipfw add 50000 allow ip from any to any in mac any any
ipfw: unknown argument ``mac''

If there's some secret to getting this to work, let me know, as right now
I would really like a way to restrict ip traffic by source mac.
