This has the ability to have a ACL lists added. Can we please have the ability to migrate the ACL or static assigned MAC addresses into the Wireless settings?

ifconfig ath0_wlan0 mac:add

@ MAC-Based Access Control List Parameters
The following parameters support an optional access control list fea-
ture available with some adapters when operating in ap mode; see
wlan_acl(4). This facility allows an access point to accept/deny asso-
ciation requests based on the MAC address of the station. Note that
this feature does not significantly enhance security as MAC address
spoofing is easy to do.
mac:add address
Add the specified MAC address to the database. Depending on
the policy setting association requests from the specified sta-
tion will be allowed or denied.
mac:allow
Set the ACL policy to permit association only by stations reg-
istered in the database.
mac:del address
Delete the specified MAC address from the database.
mac:deny
Set the ACL policy to deny association only by stations regis-
tered in the database.
mac:kick    address
Force the specified station to be deauthenticated. This typi-
cally is done to block a station after updating the address
database.
mac:open
Set the ACL policy to allow all stations to associate.
mac:flush
Delete all entries in the database.
mac:radius
Set the ACL policy to permit association only by stations ap-
proved by a RADIUS server. Note that this feature requires the
hostapd(8) program be configured to do the right thing as it
handles the RADIUS processing (and marks stations as autho-
rized).

This ability is already part of FreeBSD and can be accessed in pfSense from command line. This would provide greater security into the pcie mini card also.

If we have items statically assigned in DHCP it would be easy to migrate that into auto added MAC adds
