I'm experiencing this bahavior for a while already, and from what I can see,
I will only see the MAC address in the log ONLY if the packet was destinated
for the local machine(Or was generated BY the machine), but I will never see
MACs if the packet logged was for another machine than the firewall.
If somebody can confirm...
