                      Notice here I have 2 (two) interfaces…

                      These are set up as MLPPP.

                            my PF server has three NIC ( tow new NIC), one of for LAN, one for PPoe,and other NIC because the same MAC can't use.

                            then I need buy an  new NIC again?

                              About the MAC address error get back real MAC now. now it is seem can work.

                              To solve a MAC problem.

                              but the interfaces_ppps.php still can't edit it. when I click edit,the pf server dead.

                              in system log has show an error is " apinger: Error while feeding rrdtool: Broken pipe"  what it is ?

                                The GUI will sometimes pause if there is no WAN active. You may just need to wait.

                                Your MLPPP is still not configured correctly.  You need to look at my examples and make yours like that.

                                  my WAN is active, but I always can't edit any  /interfaces_ppps.php and /interfaces_ppps_edit.php?id=2.  when I click edit its, pfsense server will dead.

                                  So How I do like you ?
