MAC randomization (At least the way Ive seen it work) only randomizes the
MAC when the device is passively probing for networks. It uses the fixed
MAC when it actually connects.
OR.. It uses a random MAC for a specific SSID and doesn't change it while
connected to that SSID.
If its randomizing the MAC every single time, tell her tough beans, get a
phone that works correctly. :D
