This patch adds support for a new backoff algorithm for half duplex 
supported in newer hardware. The old method is will be designated as 
legacy mode.

Re-seeding random values for the backoff algorithms are performed when a 
transmit has failed due to a maximum retry count (1 to 15, where max is 
considered the wraparound case of 0).

Resending based on feedback.
