MAC override does not work

Installing and Using OpenWrt

so i came across the gotcha ( gotme ) from last time;

-make sure that the parameter is applied to the "correct" section in /etc/config/network

there is some variance in this between releases and builds but more recent ones seem to apply it under;

config interface 'wan'
	option ifname 'eth0.2'
	option proto 'dhcp'
	option delegate '0'
         **HERE**

when it should be;

config device 'wan_dev' < **HERE**
	option name 'eth0.2'
	option macaddr '00:80:6E:77:77:7X'
