correct.
certainly on my router, you don't see the mac filtering controlling 'wired'
pc's, cause it can't really be 'tapped into' can it.
the idea of mac filtering is to stop unwanted wireless connections

Most wireless routers I have seen do not segregate the wired from the
wireless MACs.
Linksys, and NetGear however, do segregate them.
Dlink, Buffalo, Belkin and Airlink do not.
