Yes, when checking the MAC against the local list, it works. It checks the
MAC against the local list before attempting to forward any packets to FR
for EAP. When using a lightweight AP instead of an autonomous AP, I
suppose this list is kept on the controller and distributed to the APs.
This is the only way that seems like it would be of any use.
