Well, at the beginning of the message I thought you were talking of a wired
cable, which could be a lil problematic because of the available per-port
security setting that can be set up.
Talking of wireless I don't think you will have any kind of problems like
being rejected and/or disconnect the other client since there is no other
way to identify the device if not using its own mac address (see CSMA/CA
operational status). I never made a test by myself with this, but once you
spoof your own mac address with a "white listed" one on the AP you should be
able to act as the allowed client.

Oggetto: MAC address spoofing - conflict?
Hi,
Let's say you're wardriving, and you find an open network which has MAC
address filtering enabled. There is one active client on the network. You
insert BackTrack, start Kismet and find out the client's MAC address. Then,
you change your MAC address to mimic the client's, and connect to the
network.
What happens? Do you kick the other client off, or do both clients conflict
with each other because their MAC addresses are the same? Or does something
else happen? I'm sorry I can't check this at the moment, but I do not have a
wireless network to test it on.
Thanks in advance,
Flail
