There are two versions. The "known good" version is a module. You insmod it with parameters just like the original. It doesn't actually start logging over IP until you open the device -- this is for systems where the module might get loaded before IP is ready.
The second version has one additional wrinkle: it sends out broadcast MAC packets until IP is ready (i.e. until you open it) then sends out over IP.
The second version is not well tested. But you can have that one if you wish.
Let me know.
