I'd say it's time to install a discrete network card.

You must have had a surge on the ethernet connection from somewhere.
You should be able to install a network card without any issues.

If it is still working I guess you can keep using it, but something has been fried.
If it doesn't work correctly, install a network card. Add in network cards are not expensive.

When electrical components are damaged by a surge, there is no way to fix them.
Whatever functionality you have from your LAN port now is all you will ever get again.
If this is not suitable for use, install a network card.
