I can appreciate the sarcasm... However, given today's generally IP-only connected networks, ipfw does not seem to be a necessarily bad place to do this kind of filtering... I only mention it because dummynet could be useful bandwidth limiting to MAC addresses as well. And it never hurts to ask to see if somebody else has hacked it in, even if the command name isn't exactly descriptive...
