tried everything to install proxmox on soyo m4 pro mini pc. windows installed and wifi and ethernet work fine. tried proxmox no ethernet adapter recognised so unable to access web gui. tried primary and secondary servers on router, also did ip a scan no adapter for bridge found. How can i resolve this and update adapter with no interface?
not able to connect to gui

A Google search seems to indicate that this mini PC uses a NIC that is not yet supported in Linux (the Motorcomm YT6801 Gigabit Ethernet Controller). I could not confirm that from the manufacturer's web site, but saw that in a forum. If that's the case (and maybe you can firm?) then I would go with a USB to ethernet adapter for the initial install. After installation, you can try to enable the built-in YT6801 NIC by:
1. Checking if your kernel (in Proxmox 9.0.1) already has support or you need to build the module (you can try modprobe yt6801 or checking for lsmod | grep yt6801).
2. If not present, fetch the driver source (for example from GitHub or Motorcomm) and compile it as a kernel module (DKMS style) for your current kernel.
3. Load the module, configure the interface, test connectivity, then swap over from USB-NIC → built-in NIC (if successful).
4. Evaluate if the built-in NIC is stable enough for your use case
