Override MAC address for interface?

Due to some missing flash values, I need to do a later user space lookup for 
possible missing values stored "elsewhere" to fix up the MAC address.

According to:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/basic-networking

Something like this should work:


config device
         option name 'br-lan'
         option type 'bridge'
         list ports 'lan1'
         list ports 'lan2'
         list ports 'lan3'
         list ports 'lan4'

config device
         option 'lan1'
         option macaddr 34:BA:9A:CC:DD:EE

But it doesn't get applied in my testing.

As far as I know, there's no option to override the MAC in current luci.

I am using ifconfig at boot to set the MAC, but that's transient and doesn't 
remain set.

Thanks.
