When I run lshw -C network I get
*-network:1
description: Ethernet interface
product: Ethernet Connection (6) I219-V
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 1f.6
bus info: pci@0000:00:1f.6
logical name: eno1
version: 30
serial: 1c:69:7a:0d:82:69
--> size: 100Mbit/s
--> capacity: 1Gbit/s
width: 32 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi bus_master cap_list ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt-fd autonegotiation

resources: irq:133 memory:c0b00000-c0b1ffff
What's the difference between size and capacity in this case?

capacity is the maximum speed of the NIC (in this case, 1Gbit/s).
size is the current connection speed (in this case, 100Mbit/s).
