Software update 1.2.0 bricked my Bubba|TWO

Hello!
I applied the 1.2.0 software update and restarted my Bubba. Now it is unreachable from the network

The LED indicates that it has started, but I can not access it on the LAN port. It does not "show" itself to my router to obtain an IP but the LEDs on the network port indicate activity. I have tried to connect it peer-to-peer to my laptop and tried to ping 192.168.10.1 but no response there either. Same behaviour on the WAN port.
Any help on how to solve this is greatly appreciated
Regards,
Patrick Fallberg

I managed to get into rescue mode with the 1.2 rescue images. I compared the boot logs and found this which perhaps might explain the network problem:

From what I can see, it does not attempt to probe for the ethernet controller.
I an not sure what I can do about it without a re-installation, but I would really like not to have to reformat it since I have made some customization and installation on it which I would prefer not to mess with again.
