You identified a problem with deprecated ESP Ethernet calls, so I got a few WT32-ETH01 boards to test the changes. They didn't work with the changes, and that led me down a rabbit hole to get them working. I don't know if Espressif changed how their stack works, but with these boards (probably all internal PHY devices) and the Espressif examples, you need to initialize netif and the event loop before creating netif objects (ethernet.c used first to make the network objects). While tracking down the problem, I added many debugging statements and gated them with the Moddable define ethernet_debug. We need to switch between static and DHCP, so I've added methods to support this and to report the IPv6 address (we will be supporting that). There are several additional MODDEF flags to support the WT32-ETH01 boards.
I didn't think this would require as many changes but it now allows better monitoring of the ESP32 Ethernet behavior.
