Public bug reported:
After upgrading to zesty, my network configs failed because the "Clone
MAC" is listed as the string "permanent", which you only notice because
the "Save" button is greyed out and you have to check syslog for a
message like this:

to error: Invalid setting Wi-Fi: invalid MAC address for cloned MAC
