Restricting bridge access by mac-adress

Hello.

I have several boxes in the home and I want some of them to
use NAT,
some to use bridged connection. I was able to do this fairly
simple by
just setuping NAT and setuping bridge interface and it works
fine (to
use bridge, I enable DHCP and to use NAT, I just use
internal IPs).

However, I want to allow only some boxes to have access for
bridge
mode (in reality, blocking my mother's & little
brother's access to
bridge mode, at least they have NAT between their Windows'
and
internet) and I would like to be able to make it by allowing
only some
MAC-addresses having possibility to use bridge. Others are
forced to
use NAT (as in, even if they send DHCP request, it gets
filtered).

Thank you in advance
