[ovs-dev] Bug#691438: openvswitch packages do not work well together with upstream's kernel module

[Arno Toell]

This is a short state update. I'm currently lacking time to explain in
detail but I will, once I have some time to show some evidence of what I
mean.

I think you got me wrong on that. I was merely requesting to make it
possible to use the mainline ovs kernel module, but the Debian DKMS
bridge module at the same time. That caused some trouble last time I
tried. I had to use either both modules from DKMS, or no bridge
compatibility module at all.

But again, I'll show you actual problems soonish. Sorry for my overhasty
bug report, I filed it after some discussion where I recalled the
problems I mentioned.
