It should not be recognized as an ethernet card. It should be a wifi card. This happened when I was inserting the Aspire 3103WLMi laptop to the database.

This is because there is an error inside the lspci -vmmnn output. The class is 0200, that is the class of an ethernet card, it should be 0280 (wifi card). It's not a h-node bug
