Systemd supports (partial) ordering of operations, so presumably it would be possible to
add those ordering requirements to the bridge and decnet startup files to get things
happening in the right order.

Ok, I now got it. I use NetworkManager (nmcli commands) for adding br0 because I am
using Ubuntu system. I was searching for it and found configuration files in /etc/netplan
directory. I was looking for some manual about setting hwaddr but can't find it.
I tried to ip link set br0 address but it returned back to own addr after boot. decnet3
still failed to load.
That’s normal. You would have to change the MAC address after each boot, that’s what the
DECnetMAC systemd service does. Because bridges are purely software entities, systemd
doesn’t know anything about them and DECnetMAC runs before the bridge has been created.
