Mac mini M1 ethernet doesn't work after waking from sleep

When I wake my Mac mini M1 (Big Sur 11.1) up, the ethernet connection doesn't work.

It appears to be online (shows the previously assigned DHCP address, and has a green dot next to it in the system preferences), but doesn't work.

Tried turning it off and on again - shows an amber dot with 'self assigned IP'.

Wifi works as usual.

Tried pulling the cable out and plug it back in - does not connect.

I tried to connect another device using the same cable, to make sure it's not my ethernet switch or connection that is faulty - works.

Restarting fixes the issue.

Anyway to resolve it? I'd really just want to wake the mini up and continue working...
