SVXLink fails to successfully stay running

Open first boot, the following error message is recorded in the repeater log

Restarting SVXLink gives the same result, it will not stay running.
If I go to Interfaces, reload the presets for my PiRepeater 1X, and update the ports (even though they appear correct when I went to the screen, input port 26, output port 506) THEN restart SVXLink, NOW it stays running until I reboot the PI... then the problem starts over again, and I must reconfigure the ports for the interface again.

After reconfiguring ports, and restarting, the log shows successful restart

Problem is that the gpio ports are initialized too early in the boot process. Change to systemd config so that they don't load until after network ready.

After=network.target

needs confirmed, but I think this is the correct edits

[mytechguyri]

Yup that should do the trick

This seems to work reliably on my pi zero with a wifi dongle
