Bjorn, Are you aiming for this as a security measure? If so, you'd probably be better-served by deploying either an open network that doesn't allow the client to go anywhere without using a VPN, or WPA2 Enterprise* which can authenticate clients against your central user database. Both approaches offer the benefit of encrypting users' traffic for _their_ security while improving the security of your own network (MAC address spoofing is sort of old hat for wireless crackers, these days). And both can be done with either commercial- or FOSS tools. * Even the cheap Linksys WRT-54G I have at home will do WPA2 Enterprise.
