This may not be an issue you have encountered yet, but as it affected me,
this post is for others who may have the same problem.
*Situation*: WeeWX 5.0.2 installed on vanilla Debian 12 (bookwork) with
*fixed* IP address. Weatherstation hardware is Vantage Pro with an
*ethernet* interface.
*Issue*: WeeWX fails to start and reports:

Failed with result 'exit-code'.*
*Resolution*:
Even though the correct dependencies were set in the 'weewx.service' file,
the network was not available in time. I'd set a static IP address in the '
*/etc/network/interfaces*' file using the standard commands for this.
Solution involved adding an *UP SLEEP *command. Here is the example that
works for me:
iface enp1s0 inet static
address 192.168.1.242/24
gateway 192.168.1.254
* up sleep 5*
Note: ENP1S0 is my LAN interface name.
Hope this helps any others who come across this.
