Thanks for the info! But alas, since I'm on stretch, it isn't that easy, since the ifupdown package there provides neither the ifupdown-wait-online.service file nor the wait-online.sh script. I've downloaded the .deb for buster and tried to extract the relevant files from there and install them on my system, but I didn't manage to get that working in a way that the DHCP server was kept from starting too early. Due to the lack of time I'll refrain from trying to find out what I may have done wrong. And since there seems to be no out-of-the-box solution for this problem on stretch anyway, I'll stick to my ugly workaround for now and hope this will be sorted out in buster. That said, thanks again for pointing me in the right direction! -- Regards mks
