Yes, I know. I foudn something like that on google. Also a file named
dhclient-enter-hooks seems to do the trick, but I miss the option to
just say "don't use my existing resolv.conf" badly. On linux it's
easier as I remember (but that's years ago, so things might have
changed there too.

The initialising in a specific order is more important to me at the
moment. Anybody?
