That's your local wired ethernet port, not the wireless.

Check rfkill and hardware buttons, make sure they're not engaged disabling wireless. Otherwise it could be some little pos device that isn't compatible (old ndis poop adapters).

Do lspci and see if you get any other network adapter hardware there.
