The recommended firmware mentioned in the README file is [https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/1.20200212.tar.gz](https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/archive/1.20200212.tar.gz). I haven’t checked recent RPi4 firmware updates, but I’ll try to do that soon.

Meanwhile, you should be able to set an IP address manually using ifconfig. For example this is the set of commands I used to set a static IP address.

cmd  
ifconfig genet0 128.224.125.72

Here is a more detailed log which includes the aforementioned commands:

```auto
