Surely your system has a network interface–it wouldn’t be a very useful NAS otherwise. According to its specs page, it has a Realtek 2.5 GbE network interface onboard, which is almost certainly your problem. I believe that chip will work with SCALE (which iX recommends for new deployments anyway; use the latest 24.04 release rather than the brand-new 24.10 release), but the better course of action would be to buy and install an Intel NIC–using the i226v chip if you just must have 2.5 GbE.
