Allow network-interface type PPPoE to set custom mac address

See original GitHub issue

Currently 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.
