This affects me too. NetworkManager with ath5k module. Work around
(disable WiFi, use macchanger to spoof mac, re-enable WiFi) works. Was
OK with Ubuntu 13.10.

Title:
  after upgrading to 14.04 wireless mac spoofing wont work

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  after setting the mac to change in networkmanager i try to connect yet it never will, when looking at the logs it says it got disconnected by local choice (reason 3), it appeared it was because the mac wasnt effectively changed but then again i tried to do so disabling network-manager -> macchanger -m -> enabling network-manager, i checked with ifconfig if the mac has changed and it did however the result was the same
  maybe its because of this http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2013/CVE-2013-4579.html?

  **UPDATE**

  now works doing the macchanger procedure, directly from network-
  manager it doesnt
