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

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.
