I gather it has to do with the firewall.
Yes.
The MAC address does not seem to match any of the devices on the local network (which is small). Can anyone tell me what it means and what I should do about it?
The log entry is incomplete, there should be data about the ports. That would tell what it is about. The message just says that there was a connection attempt that the firewall rejected. Not important, unless you want that connection, or it is so frequent that it becomes a nuisance. SRC=fe80:0000... is a link local address. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
