ESP32 and W5500 - COMPLETE FAILURE OF COMPONENT

[ESP32andmore]

The problem

Using a ESP32 with the W5500 Ethernet chip, ESPHome fails to initialize device. The hardware has been verified to be fully functional with a Arduino sketch using WebServer_ESP32_W5500 lib @25mhz.

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2204.8.0

What type of installation are you using?

Home Assistant Add-on

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

Most recent

What platform are you using?

ESP32

Board

Coolboxx II, ESP-DEV-Module

Component causing the issue

W5500

Turns out the SPI frequency was too fast for my wiring.
Fixed by reducing it:

ethernet:
  type: W5500
  clk_pin: 19
  mosi_pin: 26
  miso_pin: 23
  cs_pin: 27
  interrupt_pin: 22
  reset_pin: 18
  clock_speed: 8MHz
  manual_ip:
    static_ip: 10.10.11.94
    gateway: 10.10.11.1
    subnet: 255.255.255.0
