Is there any way to fake it with connection tracking?  i.e. given that
for such a device, connections will always originate from the device
where we do know the mac address.  Once a connection has started, can
that connection be used to account for data going in both directions?

And there is the bit I was missing.  I didn't know this.

Thanx for the help!
