SerialEthernetInterface.cpp is compiled for every nRF52 target because
PlatformIO builds all .cpp files under src/. It includes
SerialEthernetInterface.h, which unconditionally pulls in
<RAK13800_W5100S.h> -- a library only present in the RAK4631 Ethernet
env's lib_deps. As a result any other nRF52 board (e.g. Heltec T114)
fails to build with 'RAK13800_W5100S.h: No such file or directory'.
Wrap the contents of both files in '#ifdef ETHERNET_ENABLED' so they
compile to empty translation units on non-Ethernet builds. RAK4631
Ethernet envs define ETHERNET_ENABLED and are unaffected.
Fixes#2985
EthernetServer::available() returns any socket with data, including the
already-connected client's socket. The companion path then called stop()
on what it thought was a duplicate client, closing the shared socket and
disconnecting the companion after the first packet.
Switch both SerialEthernetInterface and EthernetCLI to server.accept(),
which only returns newly-accepted sockets. Removes the IP/port duplicate
detection in the companion path (no longer reachable) and the same-socket
early-return in the CLI path.
Reported by mcode6726 on PR #1983.
Drive WB_IO2 (slot power switch) HIGH via early constructor before the
Arduino framework initializes. Without this, the board brownouts on
POE-only power because the slot MOSFET isn't enabled early enough for
the RAK13800 POE module to deliver power to the baseboard.
Also remove the W5100S hardware reset pulse from Ethernet init — the
chip comes out of power-on reset cleanly, and toggling reset kills
the PHY link which breaks POE power delivery.
Resolve conflicts: keep both Ethernet CLI and SenseCAP power-off
button code in repeater, keep both Ethernet docs and power management
CLI docs.

The Ethernet retry loop in repeater and room server checked
hardwareStatus() and linkStatus() before calling Ethernet.begin(),
which always returned EthernetNoHardware since hardware detection
only happens during begin(). Extract shared Ethernet CLI code into
EthernetCLI.h to prevent future divergence. Also fix time_t type
mismatch in companion radio Ethernet init.

Add W5100S Ethernet adapter support for RAK4631-based firmware, enabling
TCP CLI access on port 23 as an alternative to BLE/Serial connections.
- New SerialEthernetInterface for nRF52 with DHCP, reconnection handling,
and shared WB_IO2 power pin management with GPS module
- Ethernet build targets for repeater, room server, and companion firmware
- Prevent GPS from toggling WB_IO2 when Ethernet module is active
- CI build check for all three ETH firmware targets

Replaced use of `restartOnDisconnect(true)` with explicit (existing) manual re-advertising logic.
This avoids Bluetooth stack instability caused by overlapping advertising state,
Changes:
- Added explicit `Bluefruit.Advertising.stop()` and data clears in `startAdv()`
- Disabled automatic restart with `restartOnDisconnect(false)`
- Re-advertising now fully handled in `checkRecvFrame()` loop
Tested on: iPhone, Android, Windows, and Chrome – confirmed stable reconnects and name visibility.
Removed the call to Bluefruit.ScanResponse.addName() in startAdv(), as it was preventing BLE from reliably restarting advertising after a disconnect.
Hypothesis: adding the device name to the scan response exceeds internal buffer limits or causes a conflict with advertising timing, leading to the BLE stack silently failing to re-advertise.
Tested successfully (on T-1000) without this line, advertising now resumes correctly after disconnection (on Iphone)
Added RAK12500 GPS support
Added socket scan capability to determine which socket the GPS is connected to
T-beam supreme: added conditional to displaying location data to only when gps is active
