I don't know about any Neobotix drivers, but in terms of network-connected hardware, there are some options in Player. You can use the Flexiport driver to provide the network connection, and have your Neobotix driver subscribe to its opaque interface to get its data. This would make your driver robust to changes in connection method: if someone else wants to use your driver on a robot with a direct hardware connection, they could just tell the Flexiport driver to connect over serial (or whatever) instead of ethernet.
