That driver name was always user.gw1000, that wasn't changed.
The way the WiKi is written suggests that you can use any name as long
as you are consistent with station_type = name and respection section
[name].
It doesn't say that you should use the original station name and section
name. Maybe the example given gives room for such thinking.
It should explicitly say that you have to stick with the names
(pertaining to the driver) for station_type and section name [] which
are used for a single instance !
It's not a matter of getting support or not if it is not clear what one
is supposed to do and what not.
For my original scenario (one interceptor, one GW1000) this all works
now - after divination between the WiKi lines ...
However, when I have two GW1000 and want to run both instances on the
same server (different database names - they can be anything and are not
affected by the station_type/section naming),
is it then enough that the instance-weewx.conf have different names and
the databases either different names or a different location in the file
system ?
I doubt this, because, when I try to run two instances both using the
interceptor driver I get a message
ERROR weewx.engine: Import of driver failed: [Errno 98] Address already
in use (<class 'OSError'>)
I expect the same to happen with two instance-weewx.conf both having an
active GW1000 section (station_type, section name)
Or is there a way around ?
For me, from what I have observed so far, that means - as already said
above - that it's not a real multi instance solution but a multi
(different) driver solution, a special case of a general multi instance
solution.

It's probably wise to just stick with the original driver name of the
actual driver you are running so you can get support. If you start
renaming things, you'll be on your own. The important thing is to
have unique instance names and databases those instances write to.
