Spent some time today suspecting my network... and replacing switches to see if it's that. It doesn't seem to be.

The machine is getting in files from another RPi with a camera - and making mp4s before shipping them elsewhere. So it's reasonably network intensive with large files coming and going.

I've added -K to the dhcpcd process which ignores carrier transitions and at least stops it taking down the interface and putting it back up again.
