Once you realize that that your machine getting a 169.254.x.x address https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address almost certainly means that DHCP has failed, you have a pretty good idea of where to start - Why did my machine ask for a DHCP address? Why didn't it get one? As for avahi, my notes have disable multicast DNS (avahi-daemon) $ sudo systemctl disable avahi-daemon but I have a DHCP and DNS server at home, so I'd rather have the zero-conf stuff turned off.
