Description/Explanation of Issue

There is a NIC error on the motherboard.

Fix/Solution

  1. Verify that you are installing the LATEST version of Hog 4.

    1. If installing older software on a newer product, the installation will fail, as the older software version does not support the newer hardware.

    2. Example, in 2020 new revisions of the HedgeHog 4, Road Hog 4 and Full Boar 4 were released, these consoles have a minimum software compatibility of version 3.14.0. Installing 3.13.1 or older will get this error.
