Answer 1

System preferences > network ...

in the list of Interfaces, is there any entry that strongly suggests Ethernet?

If not, add one by clicking the [+] under the list of interfaces.

You should be offered Ethernet... something to add.

Then you can configure it to use it.

What model? There's the possibility that you need to install a driver in order for it to work properly.
