/// \class RHGenericDriver RHGenericDriver.h <RHGenericDriver.h>
/// \brief Abstract base class for a RadioHead driver.
///
/// This class defines the functions that must be provided by any RadioHead driver.
/// Different types of driver will implement all the abstract functions, and will perhaps override 
/// other functions in this subclass, or perhaps add new functions specifically required by that driver.
/// Do not directly instantiate this class: it is only to be subclassed by driver classes.
///
/// Subclasses are expected to implement a half-duplex, unreliable, error checked, unaddressed packet transport.
/// They are expected to carry a message payload with an appropriate maximum length for the transport hardware
/// and to also carry unaltered 4 message headers: TO, FROM, ID, FLAGS
///
/// \par Headers
///
/// Each message sent and received by a RadioHead driver includes 4 headers:
/// -TO The node address that the message is being sent to (broadcast RH_BROADCAST_ADDRESS (255) is permitted)
/// -FROM The node address of the sending node
/// -ID A message ID, distinct (over short time scales) for each message sent by a particilar node
/// -FLAGS A bitmask of flags. The most significant 4 bits are reserved for use by RadioHead. The least
/// significant 4 bits are reserved for applications.
