Title:
  MAC address cloning prevents connecting to WiFi network

Status in “wireless-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Release: Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04.

  When using the default wireless connection manager provided with
  Ubuntu, using the MAC address cloning feature in conjunction with WPA2
  encryption results in a failure to connect.

  What I expected to happen: I would have no trouble connecting to a
  wireless network

  What happened instead: Ubuntu attempts to connect, but fails. On
  Ubuntu 12.04, it keeps prompting for the passphrase repeatedly, even
  though the one entered was correct. On Ubuntu 14.04, it simply gives
  up.
