I'm trying to get if an interface is attached to a vswitch and to what switch is attached.
Let me put this a little bit of context here, I want to use hostapd with ovs; the challenge here is hostapd needs to register the interfaces that will recieve EAPOL in order to authenticate the wireless hosts. To register the interface the current devel version hostapd will try to get the master interface from /sys/class/net/<interface>/master; the problem with ovs is that it will return "ovs-system" interface, but this is not the actual vswitch interface.
So the question here, is there a way to get to what vswitch is attached the interface without using the ovs commands?
Thanks
