Bebop drone uses a different protocol than Ardrone, therefor it can not be interfaced through ArdroneLIB SDK. That's the reason why ardrone_autonomy is incompatible with Bebop drone. There is currently no ROS driver to control Bebop. As @Cyril_J said, Parrot has released ARDoneSDK3 for Bebop drone. I'll provide my insights about this SDK as a comment.

Update: Paparazzi project supports Bebop. I have not yet tried this solution, but it might be possible to bridge ivy (Paparazzi's comm protocol) to ROS either directly or through mavlink <-> ivy bridge. (More info)

Update 2: It's possible now: https://github.com/AutonomyLab/bebop_autonomy
