On generic ESP32-S3 boards with no W5500,
setupETH()still claims GPIO10–15. It also logs these errors on every boot:W5500 version mismatched … verify chip ID failedSPI Ethernet driver install failed: 266This adds an "Ethernet module (W5500)" checkbox to the ESP32 settings page. It defaults to enabled, and a missing key in
config.jsoncounts as enabled, so existing installs and the large board behave as before. When it's disabled,setupETH()returns early. ESP8266 code is untouched.Tested on an ESP32-S3 N16R8 DevKitC clone, listen-only on CN-NMODE, with arduino-esp32 core 3.3.12:
config.jsonthat has noethernetkey: the setting shows enabled and the probe runs as before.
