Not yet. At the moment enum nl80211_ap_sme_features in uapi/linux/nl80211.h
is commented out. For MAC-based ACL the following things are being checked
on wiphy registration: complete flag WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME, non-zero
max_acl_mac_addrs, and set_mac_acl cfg80211 callback.

I will send an RFC patch, lets see how it is going to look like...

Regards,
Sergey
