A bash script?

You can scan for the networks in the area, select the one you want, run the name through, say sha256, select the first 8 characters and reset the mac address to that.

Yeah, not that hard to do manually--I have a nice script for that. But I haven't looked into the logistics of hooking into the wifi connection process and doing this automatically :)
Back in my misspent youth I had a bash script that would connect me to whatever access point I needed.

I can't imagine much has changed since then, just add the logic to change the mac address between entering the SSID and actually connecting.
