Use retry counter (RC) to detect collisions instead of
Defer (DEF).

>From Table 6-29: (MPC860T (Rev. D) Fast Ethernet Controller 0.8)

6 DEF Defer indication, written by FEC (valid if L = 1). Set when the
FEC had to defer while trying to
transmit a frame. This bit is not set if a collision occurs during
transmission.

10-13 RC Retry count, written by FEC (valid if L = 1). Counts retries
needed
to successfully send this frame. If RC = 0, the frame was sent correctly
the first time. If RC = 15, the frame was sent successfully while the
retry
count was at its maximum value. If RL = 1, RC has no meaning.
