Yet it uses their kernel, not the one provided by Debian. Given the
nature of the your problem, it is an important distinction.

Does "ip a" show BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP or
BROADCAST,MULTICAST,MASTER,UP,NO-CARRIER?

If you're seeing something with the ethtool - this adapter certainly
does work somehow. You'd see the lack of NIC otherwise.

I'd start with disabling auto-negotiation (you do have ethtool, after
all), and forcing the link to 100 Mbps half-duplex. If it does work -
I'd try 100 Mbps full-duplex and only then I'd move to 1 Gbps. If it
does not - I suggest replacing your device with something USB
2.0-compliant, anything that uses asix kernel module should do.

Oh, and check the Ethernet cable. These USB NICs are (in)famous for
inability to convert cross-over cables to straight ones and vise-versa.
