D21G IND.IO not connecting to Ethernet Module

I've been attempting to get a sketch working that involves UDP send/receive from the Eth module connected to a D21G IND.IO.  I believe I've followed just about every piece of documentation avaialble (as well as experimenting with numerous other permutations of code) and had no success.  I'm in need of some review/commentary of my attempts and perhaps some guidance:

The D21G works well on its own - the sketch for simple actuator control works fine.

The Eth Expansion module also boots up fine and I can see normal 'hi, look at me' packets coming out from an ipV6 address.

The network it is on has DHCP but i'm targeting a static address.  (I've tried DHCP and it does not work either)

The code is based heavily on a test sketch I did on a Leonardo Eth which worked fine and conencted to the network without issue.

I'm suspecting is something to do with configuring the SPI bus but I can't find a specific example for the D21G and my attempts to kludge something together from other available samples/documents has not proven sucessful.

The root symptom is that the module jsut will not seem to get a dynamic IP or accept a manual IP and thus can't communicate.

The most recent version filtered for relevant code:

Includes:

#define W5500_ETHERNET_SHIELD
#include <Indio.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SPI.h> 
#include <Ethernet2.h>
#include <EthernetUdp2.h>
#include <UC1701.h>      // Industruino LCD
static UC1701 lcd;

Setting net variables (I've tried both versions with IP objects or byte arrays):

//Arduino Net Interface
byte mac[] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0x01, 0x01 };
//byte ip[] = { 10, 102, 123, 123 };
//byte subnet[] = { 255, 255, 0, 0 };
//byte gateway[] = { 10, 102, 255, 254 };
//byte dnServer[] = { 8, 8, 8, 8 };  //Changed for security purposes
IPAddress ip(10, 102, 123, 123);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 0, 0);
IPAddress gateway(10, 102, 255, 254);
IPAddress dnServer(8, 8, 8, 8);  //Changed for security purposes
unsigned int localPort = 10001;

// Create UDP Instances
EthernetUDP udpSock;

The setup code (I've also tried the IND.IO versions of these - no apparent difference):

pinMode(10, OUTPUT);  //Eth SS
digitalWrite(10, LOW);  //Eth SS On
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);  //SD SS
digitalWrite(4, HIGH);  //SD SS Off

Starting the Ethernet, UDP and Serial (Final Println always returns 0.0.0.0)

delay(5000);
// Start the Ethernet and UDP
Ethernet.begin(mac, ip); //, dnServer, gateway, subnet);
udpSock.begin(localPort);
delay(5000);
// Start Serial Port
SerialUSB.begin(9600);
SerialUSB.print("My IP is: ");
SerialUSB.println(Ethernet.localIP());

The loop code isn't relevant as we never get that far (and it works fine on the Leonardo Eth).  It seems I just can't get the module itself to initialize.

Hoping someone can see what I'm missing here?

Hi Mike, please check if you are using the Industruino version of the Ethernet2 library. There is one important difference with the original: change the SPI speed to 4MHz in the Ethernet2 library, /src/utility/w5500.cpp , line #25, as seen here: https://github.com/Industruino/Ethernet2/blob/master/src/utility/w5500.cpp

I am currently out of the country returning in early May.  This email account will be monitored regularly and time sensitive emails will be addressed as time/connectivity allows.  The remainder will be reviewed upon my return.
