Linux Server is usually not expected to be installed on a laptop and might not have the driver included.

have you tried disabling all network cards in the BIOS and then install Linux?

once Linux is installed, add the drivers to the Linux installation manually, and then enable the network cards again.

Linux then should detect the network cards automatically when you boot up.
