havent tested this yet in beta but...

I noticed in the old windows zenpack, there wasnt any polling of oper status through wmi on interfaces. its a mess to add ping templates to all interface I've found for alot of reasons...

from time to time we run into issues with a cluster nic going unavailable. if its a a physical server then hardware monitoring usually gets it but sometimes it a mis-config / os issues.

we ping the primary interfaces but if its not there/not too much would would help to get operstatus on non-primary nics.
