[Mark W Wenning]

Systems: multiple, example below is on Ubuntu Wily. This also happens on Xenial.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 15.10
Release: 15.10

Trusty uses lshw B.02.16 and does not see this bug.

lshw facility does not report all the system information in the current version (B.02.17) :
$ sudo lshw -version
B.02.17
$ sudo lshw -class system

Version B.02.16 displays product, vendor, version, etc.
Compiling and running the new version (B.02.18) also displays all the information :
$ sudo ./lshw-static -class system
