Negotiation is failing and that is required for 1Gbit, so I would
start by ruling out the device that your computer is plugged into by
plugging it into something else.
A real gigabit switch would be ideal but even another gigabit port
on a computer will work well enough to show negotiation, as
auto-crossover (Auto MDI-X) is implemented on all but the most basic
gigabit chips.
If it works with other things then the conclusion is probably that
your Thunderbolt hub is junk. If it doesn't work with other things
then the conclusion is probably that your network chipset is junk.
It would be very very unlikely to be a software issue in Debian or
the kernel as negotiation is at a very low level. But if it does not
work properly with other things you could try reporting it as an
upstream kernel bug in the driver and see what happens.
Cheers,
Andy
