Bug Description

The udev parser is incorrectly marking some virtualized network devices as Wireless on an ARM system.

The following below appears in the udev.json attachment from the latest run.

 {
            "bus": "pci",
            "category": "WIRELESS",
            "driver": "thunder-BGX",
            "interface": "UNKNOWN",
            "mac": "UNKNOWN",
            "path": "/devices/platform/soc@0/848000000000.pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.0",
            "product": "THUNDERX BGX (Common Ethernet Interface)",
            "product_id": 40998,
            "product_slug": "THUNDERX_BGX__Common_Ethernet_Interface_",
            "subproduct_id": 41254,
            "subvendor_id": 6013,
            "vendor": "Cavium, Inc.",
            "vendor_id": 6013,
            "vendor_slug": "Cavium__Inc."
        },
        {
            "bus": "pci",
            "category": "WIRELESS",
            "driver": "thunder-BGX",
            "interface": "UNKNOWN",
            "mac": "UNKNOWN",
            "path": "/devices/platform/soc@0/848000000000.pci/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:10.1",
            "product": "THUNDERX BGX (Common Ethernet Interface)",
            "product_id": 40962,
            "product_slug": "THUNDERX_BGX__Common_Ethernet_Interface_",
            "vendor": "Cavium, Inc.",
            "vendor_id": 6013,
            "vendor_slug": "Cavium__Inc."
        },

And farther down:
{
            "bus": "pci",
            "category": "WIRELESS",
            "driver": "pci-host-generic",
            "interface": "UNKNOWN",
            "mac": "UNKNOWN",
            "path": "/devices/platform/soc@0/84a000000000.pci/pci0002:00/0002:00:03.0",
            "product": "THUNDERX Traffic Network Switch",
            "product_id": 40991,
            "product_slug": "THUNDERX_Traffic_Network_Switch",
            "subproduct_id": 41247,
            "subvendor_id": 6013,
            "vendor": "Cavium, Inc.",
            "vendor_id": 6013,
            "vendor_slug": "Cavium__Inc."
        },
