[SOLVED] AQUANTIA 10GbE LAN AQC107 stopped working on 7.2

[unruly1]

GIGABYTE Z590 AORUS Master AQUANTIA 10GbE LAN AQC107 stopped working on 7.2

I am in the process of getting a cloud gaming server up and running.
Initially I was running 7.2 and was working fine for a day or two and then stops working.

I found several resources that referenced 7.1 so I ended up switching to that and networking worked for several days while I continued to fumble through the cloud gaming server. Found a recent set of instructions that used 7.2 so I installed that and it worked great yesterday, got it all up and running, gaming, working great and today after a reboot, no network.
no lights, switched ethernet cable, tried different ports on the switch, etc.

Output of cat /etc/network/interfaces (I xxx'd part of the IP addresses):
auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface enp5s0 inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet static address 192.168.1.135/24 gateway 192.168.1.1 bridge-ports enp5s0 bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0

changed enp5s0 to enp6s0 and everything worked.
new /etc/network/interfaces below
