It looks like my hardware does not support jumbo frames - https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-enable-jumbo-frames-in-linux
Even after setting up a larger MTU with ifconfig,
https://www.flir.com/support-center/iis/machine-vision/knowledge-base/lost-ethernet-data-packets-on-linux-systems/
the MTU reverted back to 1500. So, probably hardware or driver limited.
Also, Network Manager then complains that the interface is not managed,
https://askubuntu.com/questions/71159/network-manager-says-device-not-managed
But the camera works as long as the IP address is set correctly. According to the knowledge base article at
https://www.flir.in/support-center/iis/machine-vision/knowledge-base/setting-an-ip-address-for-a-gige-camera-to-be-recognized-in-linux/
setting it anywhere in the 169.254.x.y range with a 255.255.0.0 netmask should do the trick - link local address (LLA).

Getting Started Manual which talks about Windows installation
Technical Reference which gives frame rates, pin-outs etc
Edit - found this page which has a good explanation of the bandwidth used, effect of lower MTU (slightly higher CPU usage), multiple GigE cameras and so on.
