Wireless MAC address filtering to restrict access in Tomato

I am considering Tomato and would like to know if it allows restricting access to the wireless LAN only to the MAC addresses one can enter in the list (like in the stock Linksys firmware). If yes, then what's the maximum number of these addresses? Will enabling this restriction (if possible) adversely affect the performance? Many thanks!

    On the current Toastman firmware up to 250 wireless restrictions are supported.

      I am thinking of using TomatoUSB on WNR3500L.

        If I have about 50 allowed MAC addresses, does it mean that I have to create 50 separate rules (not a single rule with 50 addresses)? Would it have a noticeable  impact on performance? Thanks!
