I have a ES 5.2 on Digital Ocean. It's giving me error:  
Failed to find a usable hardware address from the network interfaces; using random bytes:

I see that it is a netty issue and has been patched. How do I get the latest patch and get going ?  
I am using a public IP address so BootStrap has to pass else node won't work.

This is solved. There was another associated error that I had to sort out and it all worked.
