That's your problem, if a device changes its MAC address it's not
going to work with the MAC passthrough since you have that set to its
former MAC address.

00:1c:bf is an Intel NIC, 00:c9:96 is a block that is not assigned to
any vendor, meaning it shouldn't be programmed into any NIC. Could be
for any number of reasons, but that's a problem, you should never see
that. It's not a m0n0wall issue, it's something with that host.
