I went looking there.. but I just found old archives.. and a bunch of "well
linux has it" arguments.  I personaly don't care who has what, I just care
about who's works the best for what I need it to do.

That's why I converted some of my firewalls from Linux's iptables, to
OpenBSD and pf...  I like it more...

thx for the info though!

For MAC level filtering, you'll need a bridge. See brconfig(8) about how
to filter on MAC addresses. pf will still work on a bridge, and you can
do the IP level filtering with pf on the same box.

pf itself does not (and will not) filter on MAC addresses, as has been
discussed in-depth many times before. If you're interested in the old
discussions, the mailing list archives will help you.
