I am needing an ethernet RJ45 connector to create a wired connection, making this firmware + ESP32 a competitor to routers that suffer throughput performance when running a lot of small UDP packets.

As the title says, I would like to add support for ESP32 ethernet modules which have the LAN8720 chip and RJ45 jack built in. Like https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/seeed-technology-co-ltd/102991455/13572085

It would help me to have some trial code to add to the codebase, and give me a starting point to test and work my way through.

There are a lot of different projects for creating a router with an ESP32, but most of them are dated and don't work, or then don't compile.
