One thing to try if you can is to use a cross-over network cable.
I still think this would be your best option if you can find or make one.
It would have been helpful to see what the output of ethtool is when it's working, but when it's not working, try the following:
ethtool -s enp5s0 mdix on
Give it a few seconds, see if it comes on. If not, then try:
ethtool -s enp5s0 mdix off
I did try this. Those commands do execute without giving an error but it does not then turn on any lights.
Yes, now that I see your ethtool output, neither device supports setting this. I'm somewhat surprised that it doesn't give an error, but maybe by design it doesn't error on unsupported functions.
