Additionally, all changes made with ifconfig while network-manager was running were completely ignored. I found that no matter what, any time that network-manager started, my changes made with ifconfig were reset. I saved it and attempted to connect to it, but after about a minute of failed attempts it gave up and connected to it using the old MAC address.
