Or, use something like the Beaglebone Black instead of a RPi in the
first place. By the time you get your RPi, your board to connect the
Arduino, and the Arduino itself, you've blown through the price
difference between the boards. The BBB's SoC is designed with IO and
industrial control in mind rather than being a repurposed set-top-box
SoC like the RPi. It's weaker in the video department, but *way*
stronger for most other things.  For networking-specific tasks,
however, you might be better off getting an older wireless router with
full open-source support, or one of the cheap dev boards based on a
MIPS network routing SoC.
