MAC address randomization is in fact built in to NetworkManager (edit: 1.4), so none of this work is really necessary (edit: if you are on 1.4 or later).

From the post: "I learned that NetworkManager 1.4.1+ can do MAC address randomization right out the box. If you’re using Ubuntu 17.04 upwards, you can get most of the way with this config file."
