I have a solution.

SELECT start_bit_boundary FROM (
  SELECT
    min(address) as start_bit_boundary,
    status, count(*) as CT
  FROM MAC_addresses
  WHERE     status = 0
  GROUP BY address >> 2
) AS _INNER
WHERE
  _INNER.CT = 4
ORDER BY start_bit_boundary
LIMIT 0,1;

It returns the first of 4 consecutive addresses.
This works with the following data set.

CREATE TABLE addresses ( address BIGINT(20), status INT );
INSERT INTO addresses
VALUES (100000000001,0),
       (100000000003,0),
       (100000000004,0),
       (100000000005,1),
       (100000000006,0),
       (100000000007,0),
       (100000000009,0),
       (100000000010,0),
       (100000000011,0),
       (100000000013,0),
       (100000000008,0),
       (100000000014,0),
       (100000000015,0),
       (100000000016,0),
       (100000000017,0);

If I want to print all the addresses I could do this:

select * from addresses
where status = 0
AND  address BETWEEN (
  SELECT @b := start_bit_boundary FROM (
    SELECT min(address) as start_bit_boundary,status,count(*) as CT
    FROM MAC_addresses
    WHERE status = 0
    GROUP BY address >> 2
  ) AS _INNER
  WHERE _INNER.CT = 4
  ORDER BY start_bit_boundary
  LIMIT 0,1
) AND (@b+3) limit 0,4;
