Doable, but not very elegantly.

The access key page is external to Squid. Can be run on any http server
in your network provided there is some common exchange between the http
server and your Squid (text file, SQL database or whatever...)

To do this elegantly you would need to extend the external acl interface
to also be able to query based on the MAC. This allows the acl to be
dynamic, saving the need of issuing "squid -k reconfigure" on each and
every change..

Defenitely doable within the limits of networking fundamentals.

Most people doing this is doing so based on the IP which scales much
better (and is supported by external acl already)
