EDIT - IGNORE MY POST, NOOB MISTAKE -

On reflection, it looks like I was looking at the 'permanent mac address' bit not the 'current mac address' bit. This gave me the impression that the mac address was resetting but I now realise it was not? (Assuming that is, that I am now reading things right, not that I was right before and am now wrong. It's hard being me.)

Anyway, I left my original post incase anyone else is making the same mistake as me. Seems like the right thing to do. Scroll down for the noobyness..

Same problem - Logged in as root, tried using Sudo just incase, obviously didn't work. Copy paste below - as you can see it works until I re-enable the wifi adapter, then it defaults back to the hardware MAC.

Same problem on inbuilt card btw.
