To clarify, you are downloading the latest version from
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Windows/ ?

>"Seems like it is a hardware problem."

If this is reproducible with the latest driver version from Windows, you
could call the manufacturer to inquire about if there is a firmware
update that could be applied to fix this problem. If not, you could
request a replacement of the same model where they updated the hardware
to do as advertised.

Circling back to linux, a quirk could be added that automatically
invokes the WORKAROUND you noted in your Bug Description, given it
doesn't just work when you plug it in.

Title:
  197b:0250 JMicron JMC250 Gigabit ethernet doesn't work

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Laptop ASUS X52JU can't connect to the router ASUS RT-AC68U via
  ethernet. NetworkManager shows that cable is unplugged. Router has
  Gigabit ethernet ports and laptop doesn't see them. I found that it's
  a bug of the JMC kernel module.

  WORKAROUND: The following allows 100 Mbps speed:
  sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
