+    User's Ethernet/IP event handlers need to be registered after registration of default handlers (i.e. after :cpp:func:`esp_eth_set_default_handlers`). General recommendation is to fully initialize Ethernet driver and network interface prior registering user's Ethernet/IP event handlers, i.e. register the user event handlers as the last thing prior starting the Ethernet driver. Such approach ensures that Ethernet/IP events get executed first by the Ethernet driver or network interface and so the system is in expected state when executing user's handlers.
