Grants this address access to the system.

What exactly do you mean by this? Your card with address 01:02:03:04:05:06 should still be connected (to wlan0). When setting allow policy all previously connected clients will be un-affected. Then all clients will be kicked by 'maccmd 4', but if you add 01:02:03:04:05:06 to the mac-list directly after, that client will re-associate immediately.
