[ovs-discuss] Creatinhg bridge by adding to the OVSDB

[John Chludzinski]

Sorry about that BUT I introduced that typo to deliberately test an 
hypothese.

BUT even when the typo is fixed/removed, the problem remains: no new 
entry in the Bridge table.

root at localhost ~# ovsdb-client -v transact '["Open_vSwitch", 
{"op":"insert", "table": "Bridge", "row": { "name": "b3" } } ]'
