About that ...
MAC addresses are not checked unless you use an extra tool for this. For example, a large institution (university, company, etc) can have many access points, each with a unique MAC address. However the SSID is unique among all Access Points. Your device will only check the SSID, try to connect (using mutual authentication), but no MAC address checks take place. You don't need to know or use the MAC address of the target network to clone it. You can just use any MAC address you want, that is if you know the password of it, or are cloning an unprotected network.
