Intel Pro Wireless 2200bg Calexico2 Network Connection Driver For Mac

Dec 29, 2006 Reporting: Problem with WLAN Connection with Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG This post has been flagged and will be reviewed by our staff. Thank you for helping us maintain CNET's great community. Refer to the following link for latest available drivers for the Intel® Wireless 7265 Family (Rev.C), Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160 and Intel® Wireless 7260 Family adapters. 2 Support only 64-Bit of the OS.

openSUSE tumbleweed KDE 32-bit is installed on my ThinkPad X41, dual-booting with Mint KDE 18.2 32-bit. TW using the internal wifi adapter will not connect to my home network but will connect to the building network. TW using a Belkin USB adapter connects to both networks. Mint using both adapters connects to both networks.
The problem seems to be TW with the internal adapter generates random MAC address for the device. My home network uses MAC address filtering, so the random addresses are denied access. The building network does not filter, so it connects. Somehow, TW uses the actual hardware MAC for the Belkin, so it connects to the home router. Mint always uses the actual hardware MAC for both devices, so they connect. Driver

Hardware info isNote there is a Permanent HW Address (edited), which is in the home router's permitted list. The preceding line gives a HW Address that would be unable to connect to the home router.

The MAC for the internal adapter, wlp4s2, is different each time, and never the actual MAC address. The Belkin shows mac: N/A.
How can I get the system to use the actual hardware MAC address for the internal adapter (like Mint), instead of generating alternative ones?
Thanks,
Howard
