Answer
With newer builds there are no default connections for Ethernet eth0 and eth1 anymore.
That prevents the device from getting an IP address to SSH in at.
In order to be able to establish an SSH connection again, it is possible to log in to the device through the serial debug console and define an Ethernet connection with this simple command:
# nmcli con add type ethernet con-name eth-connection ifname eth1
# nmcli con showNAME UUID TYPE DEVICE
eth-connection a6183425-8fd1-4e06-9ff5-7a8d0bb5b346 ethernet eth1
Routers providing IP addresses through DHCP will now issue an IP address to the 60SOM or IG60 again. If no DHCP is available, IP addresses can be added manually:
# nmcli con mod "eth-connection" ipv4.addresses "aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd"
