Summary0003681: Mac address resets to permanent after enabling airmon-ng! Ergo spoofing will not work.
Description

I have taken several approaches in trying to solve this but have been unsuccessful. rather a lot of tools out there require airmon-ng to be active, so i hope something is able to assist me.

At the end of the log you can see that the mac address has reset back to permanent without me requesting it.

in this case the permanent mac address = d2:14:d4:7b:71:d5

and the new mac address is = 00:03:60:6b:61:2e

Here is log proof of what happens in the latest kali distribution.
