One simple way would be to ask grep to look for a non-space character in the 19th column:
lshw -c network -businfo | grep -E '^.{18}[^ ]'
The grep
command is looking for pattern that's anchored to the beginning of the line; there follows 18 of any character, then something that's not a space.
Alternatively, if there's a TAB there instead of space, use the [:space:]
class:
lshw -c network -businfo | grep -E '^.{18}[^[:space:]]'
