Allow network-interface type PPPoE to set custom mac address
See original GitHub issueCurrently there is no option to set a custom MAC address if the ethernet interface is configured for PPPoE. Many ISPs will block the connection unless it comes from a registered MAC.
Setting option macaddr
to the appropriate ethx interface in /etc/config/network
does not appear to fit it.
ifconfig ethx
still shows the original MAC address.
Tested on LEDE Reboot (SNAPSHOT, r3582-8873474)

SOLVED…through SSH I edited /etc/config/network And did the following
config interface ‘wan’ option ifname ‘eth0’ option _orig_ifname ‘eth0’ option _orig_bridge ‘false’ option proto ‘pppoe’ option password ‘xxxxxxxx’ option metric ‘1’ option macaddr ‘xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx’ option username ‘xxxxxx’
Am a novice but had luck this time. I only added the Mac address line and did not touch anything. Cheers.
This is solved
