Surface Pro hangs after restart when MAC address has been spoofed. Why?

After the usurpation of the MAC address of my 2 - day old Surface Pro, I press the power button. According to my power options, the computer goes to sleep. After awakening, the network adapter is disabled and 5 minutes later, I get a BSOD. The message is a bugcheck 0x9f DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. Guilty drivers belong to the Marvell AVASTAR ngn350 card. Drivers have been updated to the latest 14.69.24019.88 but that did not help.

If I remove the theft (by removing the contents of the registry key"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0012\NetworkAddress") the BSOD go away. They come back at the first sleep after spoofing. So, spoofing is clearly the problem.

Am I missing any step for a successful spoof in Windows 8 (beyond just the registry hack)? Is there any other way to spoof?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
