The system runs as a single machine, but if the Ubuntu driver for Ethernet isn't installed, you may need to install it manually or check for updates.
You can use the install USB or DVD to perform a live test and verify driver functionality. Once confirmed, you can proceed with installation if everything functions correctly.
As noted, try the live USB to verify functionality. Previously, I relied on a wireless USB dongle to temporarily gain internet access for installing drivers. Another method involves transferring the drivers via a USB drive. These approaches have only arisen on very recent hardware, such as a recently released Z690 motherboard. In one case, I needed to install an updated kernel, after which the newer components functioned seamlessly without manual driver installation. The alternative required downloading and loading a driver manually, though support resources often exist for this process.
