I suspect the PHY is powered down (intentionally) in this case. My guess is the interface isn't enabled to be automatically brought up either by NetworkManager or the SysV network init scripts (or by *gasp* systemd). Setting the interface to be brought up on boot will solve this for you. The ethtool output is telling you how the driver is configured. In the case you have below, it's ready to perform autonegotiation, but the PHY hasn't been brought online yet (hence no link detection). It doesn't mean that the link has already been established and autonegotiated.
