I fixed the issue by adding the following lines to /etc/rc.local:
sudo service network-manager stop &&
sudo ifconfig wlp2s0 down &&
sudo macchanger -e wlp2s0 &&

Just encountered this on a Lenovo laptop with the built in Intel WiFi,

Just discovered I also have this bug. Was diagnosing this problem for a
month since updating my OS, but never isolated the problem to mac-
address spoofing.
