WiFi MAC address change without 26AE limitation?

Windows 10 has restrictions on changing MAC for Wifi.
I think it applies to all wireless cards not just intel and includes win 7 and 8 too.

Simply put there's a restriction on the first octet. it must contain 26AE

X2-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
X6-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XA-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
XE-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX

Changing the mac using the registry is quite easy but only using one of the formats above.
Any idea how to get around this? For testing try to use a mac starting with 00: ... it will never happen on Win.
But linux doesn't give a damn.

I wonder if a Wifi USB adapter is able bypass this.
Any info appreciated.
