Fix #4025
Not sure if this is the best approach to take here but basically some devices don't always output the info we need in ifXEntry for various interfaces so it's difficult for us to check we have complete data. Falling back to ifEntry seems the best approach for those devices.
The alternative would be to poll both ifXEntry and ifEntry as we did before but that would slow polling down for these devices.
