Actually it is not possible to change the MAC addresses for VLAN interfaces on bridges.
This can be a problem when a device external MAC address in a VLAN is the one that is used on the bridge and other bridge VLAN interfaces. This create a MAC address conflict.
It should be possible with an Independent VLAN learning bridge to set a different MAC address for each VLAN interface on the bridge.
Why VLAN interfaces on bridges are actually locked to the MAC address of the underlying bridge interface ? is there a reason, or is it just some glue code missing to allow configuration of the VLAN interface MAC address ?
