Description
### CircuitPython version
```python
Adafruit 7.0 latest, and master branch (yeah I compiled master).
esp32 wifi chip:
Firmware vers. bytearray(b'1.4.8\x00')
```
### Code/REPL

### Description
So Ive been testing the wifi part of the circuitpython on the Arduino rp2040 connect.
The circuitpython esp32 wifi integration doesnt allow to set a static IP (Im gonna make a separate bug report on this), and I want to be able to communicate with the rp2040 chip through wifi and send datapackets, but since I dont know the IP adress, I figured I could send a multicast IP instead. On my ubuntu, I do recieve these packages on same multicast IP and port. so the router is out of the question.(As I made a multicast data logger from my rp2040 chip to get debug data from it).
The UDP reciever works with the IP adress of the wifi chip eg. 192.168.2.147:5500, but NOT the multicast adress 224.1.1.1:5500.
I hope you guys can fix this.. and the dhcp=True/False issue aswell.

Research direction
Start with the CircuitPython and Ubuntu UDP reproduction in the issue, then trace the ESP32SPI socket handling for multicast addresses. Done means packets sent to 224.1.1.1:5500 are received by the Arduino RP2040 Connect while unicast UDP continues to work.
