I specified ip address, but I might note that the gateway is on a different
VLAN/subnet than the weewx container, so nothing broadcast would work if
you're using that under the hood. Given that I'm hard-specifying an
ip_address, shouldn't all the relatively complicated discovery code be
being skipped perhaps ?
This isn't a big deal for me so no rush required, but I thought I'd post
the abort in case others have run into the same issue...
