Wired AmsToMqttBridge?

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are some places without wifi, but that may well have wired ethernet (e.g. basements in multi-tenant houses). And there are even some nice PoE-powered, wired, ESP32s like https://shop.m5stack.com/products/esp32-ethernet-unit-with-poe?variant=42675684966657

Describe the solution you'd like Would you be interested in enabling AmsToMqttBridge to use the built-in ethernet MAC on the ESP32? I'm currently a bit low on spare time so haven't got far, but i have bought the hardware, set up the environment and programmer, and am slowly starting to look at what it would take.

So i just wanted to gauge how, if at all, involved you'd want to be. If you are anything like me with open projects, there might be some parts and/or some prep that you'd want to get out of the way first. Or you maybe already thought of this and have some ideas/suggestions... or you might even want more involvement. (I'll gladly sponsor you for the hardware)

Or if you don't, i hope you'd at least accept pull requests for this so that it doesn't end up being a fork.

What do you say? :)

Describe alternatives you've considered One can always sprinkle wifi access points everywhere... but this is cheaper and options are always nice.
