        You can't change the MAC for VLANs. The MAC address is determined by the hardware, though it is possible to change it, when configuring the port. VLANs have the same MAC as the native LAN. If you really need to have 2 connections via PPPoE, I suppose you could add another NIC and use a managed switch to create the VLAN. There are cheap managed switches that will do that, though you should stay away from TP-Link, as some models don't handle VLANs properly.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...
