2nd - 'cloned-mac-address' is there, if not from the very beginning

1st - 'mac-address-randomization' i.e. "dynamic" version of the 2nd,
       works like this - observing 'watch -n.1 macchanger -s wlp0s2f1u3'
       it randomizes "Current MAC" value,
       e.g.
       Current MAC:   ea:1q:3w:z5:y8:ae  <=
       Permanent MAC: 00:11:22:33:44:55

       but during connection attempts it returns
       to the original - "Permanent MAC" value,
       e.g.
       Current MAC:   00:11:22:33:44:55  <=
       Permanent MAC: 00:11:22:33:44:55
