Ethernet and Wifi are broadcast. So, while two identical MACs are on the same local network you may run into issues. But, once the two MACs are on separate subnets (e.g. different coffee shops) then you'll be fine as the MAC addresses aren't routed beyond the local router.

But if you are in a different collision domain, you will have likely to re-authenticate.
