MAC address?  Really?

You won't get user MAC addresses to pass through routers, or through a 
transparent Squid proxy.  The packets seen by the upstream "authentication 
machine", whatever that is, will carry the MAC address of the last device they 
went through which isn't a switch.

I just wanted to check you're not trying to build something that will break 
authentication, and therefore be unusable...
