[ovs-dev] [PATCH] debian: Add network integration scripts.

[Greg Dahlman]

I wrote a really quick and dirty upstart script to test this out on Ubuntu 12.04, it works very well but you need to use auto vs allow-ovs in the network file.I will work on getting this into the git repo after I test a bit and break out the functions but this script will get you going and help you avoid the failsafe boot delay.
Upstart wants to know the pid of the daemons so running ovs-ctl will be a challenge without getting deep into the code.
Just put the following  in /etc/init/openvswitch.conf and disable LSB init scripts this can be done non-destructively by running.
$ sudo update-rc openvswitch-controller disable ; update-rc openvswitch-switch disable
