MINI S12 Pro Ethernet LAN not working

Sqrly

Hi there,
I’m just getting started with my homeserver and got myself a Mini S12 Pro with a N100.

I’ve just tried Linux Mint and Proxmox and on both OS I am having troubles with the ethernet LAN. When I connect the cable it works fine on my PC but not on the S12, when I plug it in the LEDs won’t light up and I can’t get it to run.
WiFi works fine however for some reason ?!

I thought it might be the drivers but on the downloads-page I can only find Windows drivers and a huge tarball (>1Gb) and I’m not sure how to install those linux drivers… if they even are in this tar.

Can somebody help me or point me to the right direction?

Sqrly Please try to download the latest driver from this website：https://www.kernel.org/

Well I’ve also tried endeavourOS with Kernel 6.13.1 which is quite new so I don’t think this is the problem.
Also here is my output from lspci. You can see it finds the Wi-Fi Network controller but nothing for the ethernet controller.
Any ideas how I can fix this because otherwise I’m gonna have to return my S12 pro.
