Hey, lwip is a submodule from another repo, you'll have to initialize it using git submodule update --init --recursive

As for Ethernet, it is currently out of scope for my personal needs. You'd have to remove a port on the front to make room for an ethernet port and add a separate MAC/PHY, because the STM32G4 series does not have MII support. If you want to support PoE in addition you'll also have to add the specific magnetics, PoE negotiation chips and a power fallback circuit.

It does sound like a nice challenge though. Maybe I'll revisit it in a couple of years.
