What exactly does this preference do? I'm trying to figure out if I can use it to specify which target to attack by passing a MAC address to nessusd but I can't figure out how to pass a mac address to nessusd.



I do not believe you can use this to specify targets by the MAC address when starting a scan. Instead, it will cause Nessus to report results based on MAC instead of IP. Of course, just try enabling it, scan a couple of targets, and see what it does for you. See:
