Using an USR-ES1 ethernet module with Micropython PYBv1.1 STM32F405RG

[NajibOladosu]

I'm trying to use an USR-ES1 ethernet module with my Pyboard and since the ethernet module has a W5500 chip, it thought the WIZNET5k library would work flawlessly but i keep having issues even after compiling the micropython firmware again. Whenever i run nic.ifconfig('dhcp') I don't get any response and it just keeps processing that command. So I decided to use static IP but when I run nic.ifconfig(("192.168.1.78", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.1.1", "8.8.8.8")) and print(nic.ifconfig()), I get ('0.0.0.0', '255.255.255.0', '0.0.0.0', '8.8.8.8'). What can i do to fix this?

This is the code I'm running to test the module

import machine, pyb

nic = network.WIZNET5K(machine.SPI(1), pyb.Pin.board.X5, pyb.Pin.board.X4)
nic.active(True)
nic.ifconfig(("192.168.1.78", "255.255.255.0", "192.168.1.1", "8.8.8.8"))

print(nic.ifconfig())              # I keep getting ('0.0.0.0', '255.255.255.0', '0.0.0.0', '8.8.8.8')
print("Is network connected? ",nic.isconnected())```
