The device is Intel. You have some incorrect settings in your config.plist (Devices/Arbitrary) that are causing the misidentification.

OK. should we go deeper to resolve. if i get DWA1560 will this config.plist will create problems.... Is that impacting anything or for upgrade to 10.11.4...?

The problem is really obvious. Look at your config.plist.

Not a developer can you be more specific.

Search in your config.plist for "Broadcom"

I'm not sure why you have this data in your config.plist without an understanding of its purpose.

Well, given that your computer doesn't have any Broadcom WiFi hardware, I would think so...

Why did you add it in the first place?
