/*
* Special case for SOL outbound packets.
*
* Non-ACK packets require an ACK from the BMC (that matches
* our packet!).
*
* While waiting for our ACK, it's very possible that we
* will receive additional data form the BMC (that we will have
* to ACK).
*
* Also, this is not perfectly correct. We would like
* to give the appropriate timeout for SOL retries, but our
* timeout mechanism is in our recv() call. Thus _any_
* incoming packet from the BMC will use up one of our tries,
* even if it is not our ACK, and even if it comes in before
* our retry timeout. I will make this code more sophisticated
* if I see that this is a problem.
