FWIW you could get a USB-Ethernet dongle pretty cheaply I think. Which might simplify things if you can't get the TP-Link to send the necessary DHCP options. If I were you I'd be very wary of disabling DHCP on the TP-Link and moving it to the Debian box while on the other side of the world ;-) Unless most stuff (including the Debian box) is using static addresses. If you can't configure the TP-Link to do the right thing it might be possible to configure it to ignore particular MAC addresses and then deploy a dhpc server on your Debian box which only responds to specific addresses.
