Fedora 31 Realtek Ethernet

I upgraded to Fedora 31 the other day, now my Ethernet does not work on power up. I am able to fix it by running rmmod r8169 && modprobe r8169.
I thought I could do this automatically by adding a file to /etc/modules-load.d but it seems the r8169 kernel module is already loaded, it just doesn’t work right until it is removed and reloaded.
Is there anything else I can do to try to get the Ethernet working automatically?

# lspic | grep -i ethernet
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)
# cat /etc/modules-load.d/r8169.conf
r8169

My Realtek chipset works automatically, but if it doesn’t, consider installing it manually.

If the driver has not been entered automatically, please install it from the web.

I installed kernel 5.5.15 today, and the Ethernet now works right away.
