Try using a USB to Ethernet adapter, these can be found relatively cheap on Amazon and eBay. This is what a lot of AMD users ended up doing because of the same issue you are facing.

You can then look at fixing the ethernet issues once you have macOS installed.

Oh ok, i will pick up one up!
Any generic usb3 adapter will work? Or any thing specific to check before?

Thanks!

Pretty much any USB to Ethernet adapter will work, as macOS contains drivers for these devices.

Thanks! will buy this one locally:
TP‑Link UE300

And will update if managed to install, hoping the EFI is well configured aswell.

I should remove then:
• IntelMausiEthernet
• SmallTreeIntel82576

When using the usb to install right?

Yes, as they won’t be required.
