Wi-Fi MAC: In memory of Dolly the sheep

[poma <pomidorabelisima gmail com>]

While testing NetworkManager's applet/con-con editor super duper Hotspot feature, I noticed:

Hotspot:
# journalctl
[  100.890742] hotspot dnsmasq-dhcp[1162]: DHCPREQUEST(wlp0s6f7u2) 10.42.0.87 00:0a:1b:2c:3d:4e
[  100.891790] hotspot dnsmasq-dhcp[1162]: DHCPACK(wlp0s6f7u2) 10.42.0.87 00:0a:1b:2c:3d:4e client
[  105.366928] hotspot dnsmasq-dhcp[1162]: DHCPREQUEST(wlp0s6f7u2) 10.42.0.87 00:0a:1b:2c:3d:4e
[  105.368292] hotspot dnsmasq-dhcp[1162]: DHCPACK(wlp0s6f7u2) 10.42.0.87 00:0a:1b:2c:3d:4e client


Client:
$ nmcli -f 802-11-wireless.mac-address,802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address connection show Client
802-11-wireless.mac-address:            00:0A:1B:2C:3D:4E
802-11-wireless.cloned-mac-address:     00:11:22:33:44:55


MAC cloning does not work for Wi-Fi Client,
but it works for Wi-Fi Hotspot.

Bug or feature?
