After reading all the post. I don't think this is a OS problem (N4IRS can chime in) but more of network or USB problem. I'm using good old Limey Linux and a 4 port pci card.
Allstar uses UDP. Drop a UDP packet and that will drop out on the repeater.
SSH and SNMP uses TCP. Drop out a TCP packet. It will send a replacement packet. No loss of data but slower.
Are you using both WiFi and Ethernet at the same time? I would try using just one mode to access the internet. How are you connecting to the Internet? i.e. WiFi to a cell hotspot or WiFi to a Mesh Network? What kind of local network?
"Modular connectors and Cat-7 cable for the interface with snap-on chokes at both endsPi is connected to the local network via Wifi (We are prepared to move this to Ethernet, but need approval of the host to do so)"
If this is a network problem. I would use the mrt command to test your network to the ASL server. Google Linux MRT and Linux MRT save to a file.
Let us know.
