I tried that one, but it seems to fail, output from console:

	# ./ovs-vsctl get Bridge br0 datapath_id
	"002320f00173"
	# ./ovs-vsctl set Bridge br0 datapath_id=0123456789abcdef
	# ./ovs-vsctl get Bridge br0 datapath_id
	"002320f00173"

I'm running Open vSwitch (v1.0.1) inside an User Mode Linux VM and also
on a normal host. I have attached the relevant sections of
ovs-vswitchd's logfiles (both from UML instance and on a normal Linux
host). What I see is that an update message is received, but immediatly
is reversed by another update message. Is this perhaps a bug?

Thanks,
Arthur
