There's some weird, undocumented crap surrounding changing MAC addresses but in theory, once the right incantation works, that should work fine. However, lagg would then have to ensure a broadcast frame will go out so the forwarding tables get updated. Or else various L2 devices won't know the location of your device has changed. I'ms aying if you placed an ath STA vap into a bridge group or some other device that sent frames from a source MAC that wasn't the STA MAC, it won't work. That only works with 4-address WDS mode.
