rule-generator: net - whitelist NICs that violate MAC local scheme

According to list of assigned ethernet codes [1] referred to by
IANA [2] certain global addresses do not follow the assignement
scheme and use numbers reserved for local use. Several such adapters
are quite widely used, generate rules for them.
