[ovs-discuss] Article about OpenVSwitch

[Konstantinos Agouros]

Hi,

I am writing an article for German Linux Magazine about OpenVSwitch.
I set it up and have most of it working. However when I try to set up a
gre or capwap tunnel I get the message: 
Oct 28 22:13:10 lenovo ovs-vswitchd: 00478|dpif|WARN|system at switch1:
failed to add gre1 as port: Address family not supported by protocol
Oct 28 22:13:10 lenovo ovs-vswitchd: 00479|dpif|WARN|system at switch1:
failed to add capwap0 as port: Address family not supported by protocol

respectively for the two methods.

I used the kernel module in the gentoo kernel. Since I read in the
readme that the module from the distribution should be used if tunneling
is needed. I tried building that, but that did not work either.

Can You confirm that the error is caused by using the kernel module from
the kernel distribution?

Regards,

Konstantin
