Hi All,
I’m posting this here in case it helps anyone who is attempting to install the PiEconet Bridge on a Raspberry Pi 4B. I was previously using a PiZero 2 but decided to switch to the 4B so I could use cabled Ethernet due to connectivity dropouts.
Ultimately, I was able to successfully build the module by reflashing the 64-bit OS and skipping the `sudo apt -y full-upgrade` step, which kept the version at 6.6.51. It all proceeded without issue from there.
I'm not sure if this is known issue but thought I should post here in case anybody updates and runs into issues.
Below is the error message I received, in case it may be helpful:

- I performed a fresh install of the 64-bit version of Raspberry Pi OS.
- Following the instructions, I executed `sudo apt -y full-upgrade`. During this process, the kernel updated from version 6.6.51 to 6.12.20.
