I tried 2.3.0+git20140819-3 building it in wheezy with kernel 3.16 from 
backports but bridge of my test was still not working:

For have it working I had to do "service networking restart".
I found probably final solution applying also this patch:
http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=commitdiff;h=9a8b5cc1a3d941c0e33f3f5b5ac260a35a8130af
Even if seems not good in some cases.
I don't know if also Jessie have this problem but probably yes. If yes I 
think this bug is only partially solves with 2.3.0+git20140819-3.



I had also another start problem probably not related to this, after 
some hours xenbr0 stopped to working.
I not found any useful errors about in logs, only some strange thing, in 
ifconfig xenbr0 was without the static ip, in syslog keep tried to 
acquire configuration with dhcp failing (dhcp server present and working 
in lan).
After "service networking restart" was working again but I not 
understand was happen and why :(
Someone have any idea about?



Thanks for any reply and sorry for my bad english.
