MAC cloning:

- on client
  - r8712u.ko       :not working
  - rtl8192su.ko    :working
  - mt7601u.ko      :if MAC cloned cannot connect

- on hotspot
  - rt2800usb.ko    :working


It is kernel modules issue, therefore, 
network-manager-applet Hotspot - good to go.


SW:
kernel-modules-4.3.0-1.fc24.x86_64
NetworkManager-1.2.0-0.8.20151102gitafa6271.fc24.x86_64
network-manager-applet-1.2.0-0.8.20151101gita267ebc.fc24.x86_64
