This is kind of unusual. Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with Aarch64 image. My SSH session keeps dying. I've noticed it happens about every half hour. When I log into the physical machine I see the IP address has changed.
Weird, I have around a dozen RPi 2/3 class devices on both wired and wireless network with a dual stack IPv4/IPv6 and I don't see that at all (and never have).
Nor have I had other reports.
This sounds like the IPv6 privacy option.

You are probably right.
I shutdown the radio with a command similar to 'dcicm radio off' and I stopped getting kicked of the wired LAN. I can't find the command in my Bash history, which is kind of odd.
Here was the command:
nmcli radio wifi offThat will turn the wifi off but if you're not connected to a wireless network it won't have any effect.
To disable IPv6 privacy on the wired interface you can do:
nmcli connection modify eth0 ipv6.ip6-privacy 0
There's a couple of blog posts with some good details: https://major.io/2016/04/17/enable-ipv6-privacy-networkmanager/ https://blogs.gnome.org/lkundrak/2015/12/03/networkmanager-and-privacy-in-th...
This problem showed back up this morning. This morning the kernel was updated to 4.20.13-200 and the machine was rebooted.
This device just keeps getting weirder. I miss the old days when things just worked...
Is it just the unstable addressing that's weird, or something else?
This IP address problem, Bash's reverse search not working, missing utilities, ...
For the reverse search I suggest filing a bug with bash [1], all the utilities you're missing should be installable with dnf (you don't actually mention what you think is missing) and the IP address is a hard one, network issues are very dependent on the local network to debug.
