MAC address change failure

Hi,

I'm not sure how relevant this is at this moment, but at least some of the previous versions used to have issues with changing the MAC address:

Jan 14 10:56:18 debian NetworkManager[3929]: <info>  [1484405778.9762] device (wlxe8de271f313a): state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason 'supplicant-available') [20 30 42]
Jan 14 10:56:18 debian kernel: [ 1232.457289] R8188EU: ERROR indicate disassoc
Jan 14 10:56:19 debian NetworkManager[3929]: <warn>  [1484405779.0836] device (wlxe8de271f313a): set-hw-addr: new MAC address XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX not successfully set (scanning)

For more details, see https://bugs.debian.org/849122#26.

I’m not sure you the actual upstream, but if you are, it would be great to get that fixed.

Changing the MAC address is still not possible. aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus does this, so it isn't impossible for this adapter, as the readme claims.

That one you will need to debug yourself.
