Anybody able to get NoDogSplash working?

[Noodle04]

I'm trying to build NoDogSplash on AsusWrt Merlin 384.14. Compile is fine, configuration also ok. But when I start nodogsplash, it complaining that iptables version is too low. It requires 1.4.17, and AsusWrt Merlin using iptables 1.4.15. Manually lower requirement to v1.4.15 cause error like:

iptables v1.4.15: unknown option "--wait"
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Anybody know how can we use feature "--wait" in 1.4.15?

According to the iptables man page

So the directive ensures iptables rules cannot be modified/accessed concurrently.

Seemingly the iptables v1.4.15 created rules are unaffected by the lack of the Mutex/Lock/Semaphore, so I would assume that it should be safe to remove the '--wait' directive, unless the NoDogSplash thread architecture makes it mandatory - but not having reviewed the source code I could be wrong.
