Arcnet is about _hardware drivers_ for a particular type of communication
channel; orocos is a set of libraries to control robots and machine tools,
_independent_ of the hardware you use. These driver issues are what we call
"hot spots" in the Orocos framework: _you_ have to fill them in for your
particular hardware, because Orocos wants to remain hardware neutral.
