This is to be expected - the board config file explicitely disables
the CFG_CMD_NET option.

Enable the CFG_CMD_NET in your definition of CONFIG_COMMANDS. But be
prepared that there might be a reason for this option to be turned
off - like missing driver support or so.

You can download your image as .srec (using the loads command) or as
binary file (using the loadb command) as you like - on the target
boith images will be identical; it's just that the S-Record download
is much slower.
