-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 IMO, basing WLAN security - say, at your home - on MAC addresses is suicide (the only thing it accomplishes is a massive administrative headache). It's better to rely on something at least reasonably solid; if you can't go with a VPN or WPA2-Enterprise, at least go for WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK with a large, pseudorandom passphrase.
In this case, yeah, your MAC address could be logged when you're away - but this should only be a concern of privacy, not security. Also, when you're on the road, be sure that one way or the other, everything is sent out of the WLAN through a secure tunnel; otherwise, there's a lot more than MAC addresses that can give you away... - -- F.
