[SOLVED] Wireless interface not recognized after system upgrade

After a recent upgrade I logged into gnome to find that I'm not able to connect to a wireless network. My wireless interface doesn't appear:

❯ ifconfig

        inet 192.168.44.127  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 192.168.44.255

        inet 127.0.0.1  netmask 255.0.0.0
        inet6 ::1  prefixlen 128  scopeid 0x10<host>
        loop  txqueuelen 1000  (Local Loopback)

The top interface is a BT tether so I can diagnose the problem, middle is my ethernet.
Definitely have wireless hardware though:

❯ lspci -k | grep -A 3 Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 [Windstorm Peak]
	Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

Edit:
Rebooted twice to shrink my journal as much as I could and on the second time the problem's vanished. I'll return to this post if it occurs again.
