May have found what I need.
lancereg.h references an AMD Ethernet chip that appears to have a register
you
can set to enable/disable retry. So, I would just have to find some
NICs that use this chip. A task for later in the project.
Thanks to all for the discussion.

I've re-factored tcp_output into a number of smaller routines with the
intent of making it easier to work with. I would like feedback on how
to improve it. I've benchmarked the change on 10GigE with no
measurable performance degradation.
The diff can be found at:

I REALLY wanted to have the PHY handle it. Usng half duplex and some old
