[gentoo-user] arpstar (arp spoofing protection) work arounds?

[7v5w7go9ub0o]

Arpstar was out of commission as of kernel 2.6.24.x

Two separate, weeks old gento bugzilla reports describing the specifics 
have not yet even been acknowledged.

Given the importance of this program at hotspots, I'm guessing that 
laptop users are downloading and installing directly (as, for example, I 
am doing with the vidalia software) -  perhaps with a patch!?

Would  anyone using arpstar on a 2.6.24 or later kernel please post the 
secret?

Thanks in Advance!!
