🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So what this function actually does: it verifies the hardware needs to leave interface enabled so that frames can be directed to and from the management interface. 📨✨

That's it, that's the whole vibe. It's a check — a little vibe check on the silicon — and it returns a bool telling you what's up. fr fr, leave the interface enabled and the frames know where to go. 🫶
