I have some devices on my network (raspberry pis, running raspberry pi OS)

offending entry. here is an example:

valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet 192.168.0.156/23 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global secondary
dynamic noprefixroute eth0
valid_lft 83356sec preferred_lft 83356sec
Relevant info from "nmcli con show "Wired connection 1"
pv4.addresses: 192.168.0.11/23
ipv4.gateway: 192.168.0.1
I think you'll need to use nmcli to alter some other settings for that
connection:
ipv4.method: manual
ipv4.dns: (your dns servers)
ipv4.dns-search: (if you have a local domain with dns)
Then from a local or out-of-band console use nmcli to restart that
connection.
