For windows 7 mac addresses must be changed in the formats below, can you add a windows 7 mode

or feature (that can be turned on or off in a settings menu) so the mac address generated is in a valid format

(valid mac address) so the user doesn't have to change the first 2 characters manually.

example: when generating a mac address the first 2 characters are randomly generated within the valid

parameters for windows 7 as shown below. (So i get a valid random first 2 characters when i use generate or

 when selecting a manufacturer from the list)

**Trying to remember which characters are valid and changing them manually every time is annoying, there

    is a free mac address changer (i dont know if i'm allowed to mention it here) that remembers the first 2 charaters

    and generates the folowing characters randomly. If you can do as above in my "example" then change mac

    address will be the first mac address changer/generator that is fully compatible with windows 7 parameters.

1.LAN MAC ADDRESSES MUST START WITH

              x0-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              x2-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              x6-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              xA-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              xE-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

2.WLAN MAC ADDRESSES MUST START WITH

              x2-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              x6-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              xA-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

              xE-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx

There is no limitation for MAC address of Ehternet card but there are limitations for Wireless. This limitation is considered and template for changing MAC address is offered to the user.

I wonder if i select "don't correct Mac address" in your practice (4.) then, what's the real result of Mac address in that wireless adapter...
 The default Mac   00:25:D3:E4:64:81
 or changed Mac   00:25:D3:03:7A:46
Which one?

If you select "don't correct Mac address" the software will try to set mac address you have chosen

In case WLAN, I guess "don't correct Mac address" couldn't make it(set mac address I've chosen) 'cause limitations on windows 7, Right?
