I would like to offer a number of users wlan access to
my network. But I need to restrict access to only
users that are authorized. I realize I could do this
with SSID and WEP keys but the problem there being
selectively deleting users without making everyone
re-configure there wireless nic each time. Since LEAP
is not available on most platforms I was considering
the following.

Since I assume most access points act like normal
bridge, in that each wlan client appears as it owns
unique MAC address. If I setup a device (like a layer
3 router) inline between the ap and my network that
can filter on MAC address I could restrict clients on
per wlan nic basis.
1. Does this make any sense as poor mans per user
access control scheme?
2. Do access points act birdge-like in the manner I
describe?
3. Do any wlan nic's allow user configurable mac
address?
Thanks in advance,
