Summary	0000094: MAC Spoof gets lost after disconnecting
Description	We spoof the MAC Address, before connecting to a Network, in order to maintain anonymity. If the connection drops (voluntary or not), the Spoof gets lost. Meaning that the reconnection is done with the original MAC Address!
Steps To Reproduce	Terminal: ifconfig wlan1 down macchanger wlan1 --mac=00:00:01:01:00:00 ifconfig wlan1 up Connect to a network. Disconnect from the network. ---> MAC Spoof is gone!
Additional Information	In BT, for example, after spoofing the MAC it holds it until a reboot. You were able to connect and disconnect to/from multiple networks without loosing the MAC Mask. I think that's an important property for a Pentest-Distro.
