[ovs-discuss] Information in PORT STATUS message not correct

[YIMIN CHEN]

Hi Ben,

Thank you for your clarification! Now the log shows:

Jul 16 13:15:58|00134|vconn|DBG|tcp:127.0.0.1:6633: sent (Success):
OFPT_PORT_STATUS (xid=0x0): ADD: 3(tap0): addr:4e:96:14:cd:a7:28
     config:     0
     state:      0
     current:    10MB-FD COPPER

So I guess wireshark was mis-printing.

Is this a known bug in wireshark? Should I update to a newer wireshark
version with fix?

Thanks!
Yimin
