Network lock fails with iptables 1.6.2 about eddie HOT 2 CLOSED

I had the same issue.
For those running Eddie on Arch Linux, you can quickly downgrade with:
sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/i/iptables/iptables-1.6.1-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

The removal of the --wait argument isn't mentioned in the iptables changelog, though.

It looks like this class method is where the --wait argument is inserted:

I haven't written C# in years, so this could be wrong, but I think adding an additional condition to the first if statement should correct the issue:

if (Utils.CompareVersions(m_iptablesVersion, "1.4.21") >= 0 && Utils.CompareVersions(m_iptablesVersion, "1.6.2") < 0)

from eddie.

I confirm this issue on Debian 8 and Kali Linux.
Please patch Eddie soon. Thanks
