Likewise MAC address white listing. It is easy enough to use ip link set dev address, or ifconfig hw ether to spoof a MAC address. Anyone who has gone to the trouble to crack your WPA2 PSK security will be able to spoof a MAC address. Their packet captures will contain legitimate authenticated clients that can be copied. arping can be used to hijack the MAC of a currently connected client as well, no need to wait for them to be offline. So there's really no benefit to white listing if someone is targeting you - far more trouble to maintain, and very much encourages a false sense of security.
