Changing wireless MAC addresses on RT-AC3200

[Crazed]

Hi everyone,

I know it's an odd scenario, but I have a good reason for wanting to change the MAC addresses for the three wireless interfaces on my new RT-AC3200 (eth1, eth2, eth3). At first I thought I could change it from the WDS menu, but those fields are read-only. So, I tried sshing in and altering the nvram:

nvram set 2:macaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
nvram commit
reboot

I shouldn't need to change the nvram value for the hardware address, but even when I do that too (nvram set wl2_hwaddr=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX), these changes are still lost on reboot and the MAC address goes back to the original address. It seems like whenever I bring the interface back up in the web GUI, the value is overwritten. Is there a startup script included in Merlin which is updating the nvram values by reading the MAC address from the adapter hardware on each startup?

I had the RT-AC3200 running Shibby's Tomato before and I was able to change the wlan addresses permanently from ssh, so there must be a way to do this in Merlin, right?

Thanks in advance for any help!
