As a help for others... perhaps in future version of weewx the default
weewx.conf file could include the following modification in the top of the
[Vantage] section?
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP or Serial-Ethernet bridge)
It would provide a further clue to folks.
Cheers
Chris
