Removing and reloading the kernel modules wouldn't get them going; neither would bringing the interfaces up and down. Looking through dmesg showed that the NIC's were in a deep sleep or couldn't be awakened (Sorry, can't remember the exact error). Googling led me to amending the grub entry and adding the pci=use_crs option a a fix. I'm not sure how related this is to your issue but it could be worth a try.
