Can you confirm that the proper mac address shows up if you do ifconfig
or macchanger -s? I think it's just not associating. Also can you try specifying the ap again to trigger a probe after ifconfig up:

    $ iwconfig wlan0 ap <your AP's mac address>

Though I did forget about this gem, try this too:

Mystery solved, and sorry for the noise,
short answer is, wpa_supplicant.

My network is WPA2 protected, and I only test against it, and
it takes time to go to AP settings, change encryption to WEP, and not forget
to change it back, etc...

So, wpa_supplicant wasn't aware of new mac, but I remember that WPA uses mac as part
of encryption.

restarting it solved the problem.

I also applied (by hand) your latest patch, so maybe it did help, I'll check without it too.
