Well the weewx.conf Vantage driver part of the config file has this in it,
which leads me to believe 'maybe':
[Vantage]
# This section is for the Davis Vantage series of weather stations.
# Connection type: serial or ethernet
# serial (the classic VantagePro)
# ethernet (the WeatherLinkIP)
type = serial
# If the connection type is serial, a port must be specified:
# Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, Fedora, and SuSE:
# /dev/ttyUSB0 is a common USB port name
# /dev/ttyS0 is a common serial port name
# BSD:
# /dev/cuaU0 is a common serial port name
port = /dev/ttyUSB0
# If the connection type is ethernet, an IP Address/hostname is
required:
host = 1.2.3.4
What's the worst that can happen if you give it a try ?
