ENC28J60 ethernet module with nrf52840dongle on Zephyr version 2.4.0

Question

I have encountered some problems when trying to use ENC28j60 ethernet module with nrf52840dongle and hope to get some help from here.
Problems:

No internet access on Ipv4, no network access on Ipv6 shown in Control Panel>Network and Internet>Network Connections> Ethernet Status
zephyr\samples\net\ipv4_autoconf does not assign a random IPv4 address in the 169.254.0.0/16 range.
zephyr\samples\net\sockets\dumb_http_server unable to load http://192.0.2.1:8080/ page as stated in the README file.
wasn't able to open serial terminal after combining the sample net applications with cdc_acm codes from zephyr/samples/subsys/usb
