I was able to set the mac:
ip link set dev wlan0 addres <some_mac>

After that I was able to connect, however it seems to be connecting to open and WEP networks only (so still ****ty)...

WPA and WPA2 fails on 'authentication problem', logcat says there is not configuration for the network and refers to the key.. which 100% good:

Code:
I/wpa_supplicant( 2706): wlan0: Associated with some_mac
D/dalvikvm( 1650): GC_CONCURRENT freed 409K, 8% free 9977K/10759K, paused 1ms+3ms
I/wpa_supplicant( 2706): wlan0: WPA: 4-Way Handshake failed - pre-shared key may be incorrect
I/wpa_supplicant( 2706): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=some_mac reason=0
D/SupplicantStateTracker( 1522): Failed to authenticate, disabling network 0
I/wpa_supplicant( 2706): wlan0: No network configuration found for the current AP
I/wpa_supplicant( 2706): wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-DISCONNECTED bssid=00:00:00:00:00:00 reason=0

Temporary Fix for Wifi problem

1. If your wi-fi is on turn it off
2. Open Root Explorer and go to the /data folder
3. Find and select via long touch the file .mac.info (need show hidden files)
4. Use the option "Open in Text Editor"
5. Change the MAC address to the what you want (Ex: 00:11:22:33:44:55).
6. Touch the menu button and select "Save & Exit"
7. Turn on your wifi and connect to the preferred network.

Note: This change aren't permanent, when you reboot you phone the MAC address goes back to the original.
In 9001 case the file is called .mac.info..
Kind of funny that this is used by wpa_supplicant.. if I understand it correctly, it does not read current mac from the device, but from the file updated on boot?
