Hahaha, just watching LTT's live Gigabyte Z490 build stream and he rebooted and hit the exact problem - NIC dead.

Looks like theres a new LAN driver and BIOS F5f up on Gigabyte support site:

Infact LAN driver appears to be the same as the previous one but has been updated with todays date.

Seemed to revert to original issue on first power on, but seems fine after a reboot.
