[ovs-discuss] Management interface not accessible after reboot

[Emil Flink]

As others might have noticed by now my loopback interface was not correctly
configured to come up automatically since in my auto directive I specify
"lo0" but the interface is actually only named "lo". Missing the loopback
interface lead to all kinds of "interesting" problems :)
