Hi,

it might be that lshw is compiled with something your CPU doesn't
support. One reason that I dropped my around 10 years old Athlon and
bought a new Celeron were core dumps, related to missing sse > 2. This
doesn't affect packages from Ubuntu repositories, however, some software
requires sse > 2. You might experience a similar issue.

You could either rebuild the lshw package or migrate to another tool,
e.g. https://packages.ubuntu.com/zesty/hwinfo or simply don't use such
an universal tool at all and use dmidecode, cat /proc/*, lspci and Co.

Perhaps

  # hwinfo --netcard; hwinfo --network

or something similar provides the wanted output.

Ralf
