[FR] How can I enable NetworkPlugin number 3 by default?

[kuppe234]

I have set some defaults in Custom.h. That work like expected. But I need the Ethernet in NW003. This is disabled after a fresh install. How can I enable it by default?
The command networkenable,3 on console is working. But I want to have this setting enabled by default in the firmware. How can I do this?

Greetings, kuppe.

What type of ESP board & Ethernet are you using here?

Sorry, I forget it: I have an Olimex ESP32 PoE.
I have defined it in Custom.h.

#ifdef ESP32
  #define DEFAULT_FACTORY_DEFAULT_DEVICE_MODEL  DeviceModel::DeviceModel_Olimex_ESP32_PoE
#endif

The pin settings are correct. Only EnableNetwork is missing.

Hmm I don't think we have a define for this. I will add one so it can be defined via a Custom.h

As a quick work-around so you can already use this, you can remove line 49 #ifdef ESP32P4 and lined 53 .. 55

ESPEasy/src/ESPEasy/net/_NW003_ETH_RMII.cpp

Lines 45 to 57 in 2d9485c

	case NWPlugin::Function::NWPLUGIN_DRIVER_ADD:
	{
	NetworkDriverStruct& nw = getNetworkDriverStruct(networkDriverIndex_t::toNetworkDriverIndex(event->idx));
	nw.onlySingleInstance = true;
	# ifdef ESP32P4
	nw.alwaysPresent = true;
	nw.enabledOnFactoryReset = true;
	nw.fixedNetworkIndex = NWPLUGIN_ID_003 - 1; // Start counting at 0
	# else // ifdef ESP32P4
	nw.alwaysPresent = false;
	# endif // ifdef ESP32P4
	break;
	}

Thank you. It works.
This workaround helps me. I can flash the Olimex ESP32 PoE and put it into operation and configure it without WiFi.
