[ovs-discuss] OVS 2.3.2 failed to start after host reboot

[Aihua Li]

What Did you do to make it happen:   
   - Built ovs debian package using tag v2.3.2, 
   - installed the debian packages, on ubuntun 12.04.5,  
   - added bridge br0 with physical interface eth0
   - ovs-vsctl add-br br0
   - ovs-vsctl add-port br0 eth0
   - host connectivity is fine until reboot.
   - after rebooting system, connectivity is totally lost. 
   - bridge br0 is not up.
   - workaround is to manually bring br0 up: ifup -a
What you expected to happen.   
   - ovs should bring bridge br0 up on reboot
What actually happened:   
   - ovs failed to bring up br0

   - The Open vSwitch version number:  ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 2.3.2-1
   - The Git commit number: b54186d797e0d4819e977bc75ae16b4ddd0e8cd,  tag v2.3.2
   - Any local patches or changes you have applied: none

   - git revert 8091d037e54fe58ddfdd67cdfd7d93f4689f02dc
Any other information that you think might be relevant.
   
   - ifquery does not work on ubuntu 12.40.
   - "ifquery --allow ovs --list" produces empty.   

   - /etc/network/interfaces file is as follows:
