and wireless interfaces:

pass packets, or Testing (testing and unable to pass packets).

do not pass the Frame Check Sequence check.
• Carrier Sense Errors (Ethernet): The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never asserted
when attempting to transmit a frame. The count increments at most once per transmission attempt.
• Deferred Transmission (Ethernet): The number of frames for which the first transmission attempt is delayed
