Network interface name gone after reboot for Realtek PCI card with r8169 module

[jrhbcn]

I cannot find the network interface name for a Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI card. The problem appear after rebooting updating proxmox to kernel 6.8.12-5.

Card is reported OK with lspci -vnn:

However, there is no ethernet interface available and the output of "ip a" just reports the loopback and vmbr0 interfaces.

There are no relevant logs that I can see in dmesg either... any idea where to look??
