KC868-A6 with waveshare LAN8720 - llast - 01-15-2025
Hello,
I am trying to setup KC868-A6 with LAN using waveshare lan8720 controller - I used the following configuration:
```ethernet:
type: LAN8720
mdc_pin: GPIO23
mdio_pin: GPIO18
phy_addr: 0
```
but I keep on getting the folowing error on esphome:
[11:11:41][C][ethernet:041]: Setting up Ethernet...
[11:11:41][V][esp-idf:000]: E (1589) esp.emac: emac_esp32_init(371): reset timeout
[11:11:41]
[11:11:41][V][esp-idf:000]: E (1589) esp_eth: esp_eth_driver_install(228): init mac failed
would you be able to support this configuration?

is it possible to use the pins allocated for LORA / SPI?

maybe can't , ethernet pin can use by any ESP32 pins. Only some special pins can be used.
