Yikes. So, this isn't even a native systemd unit. It's some kind of sysv-rc init script, and systemd is converting it to a systemd unit automatically, and some subtle stuff is being lost in translation. > [Unit] > Documentation=man:systemd-sysv-generator(8) > SourcePath=/etc/init.d/udhcpd > Description=LSB: Start busybox udhcpd at boot time > Before=multi-user.target > Before=multi-user.target > Before=multi-user.target > Before=graphical.target > After=remote-fs.target > > [Service] > Type=forking > Restart=no > TimeoutSec=5min > IgnoreSIGPIPE=no > KillMode=process > GuessMainPID=no > RemainAfterExit=yes > SuccessExitStatus=5 6 > ExecStart=/etc/init.d/udhcpd start > ExecStop=/etc/init.d/udhcpd stop If this actually *works* when you start it manually, then here's what I would do. Step 1: systemctl cat udhcpd.service > /etc/systemd/system/udhcpd.service Step 2: Open /etc/systemd/system/udhcpd.service in your favorite text editor, and change this line: After=remote-fs.target to this: After=remote-fs.target network-online.target Maybe also get rid of the comments at the top that say it's autogenerated, if you like. Then save it. Step 3: systemctl daemon-reload That should delay udhcpd's start until after the network interfaces are up, assuming you have that working (correct the spelling of "network" as Gene pointed out, and get rid of that "broadcast" line).
