Tntmold: I think you have to build LinuxCNC from source for an Ethercat install, then build Ethercat master. It will not work from the downloaded ISO file.
Build from a Debian13 Netinstall(or full) image.

There are still some reasons why its necessary to build the Ethercat master from source which is pretty easy anyway. In that case, go to the etherlab site, get their source and read their instructions in the PDF instructions
etherlab.org/en_GB/ethercat

@NIckH, the Etherlab repository also hosts the latest Ethercat hal driver thanks to Scott Laird. So it is possible to install everything without building anything!
