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.

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.

What does wireless IPv6 have to do with wired IPv4 LAN addresses?
