Hello,

I have a working wireguard wg10 interface
<https://www.wireguard.com/quickstart/>. I want to add it to a OVS bridge
using the following simple commands, as root:

root at raspberrypi:~# ovs-vsctl add-br sw1
root at raspberrypi:~# ovs-vsctl add-port sw1 wg10
ovs-vsctl: Error detected while setting up 'wg10'.  See ovs-vswitchd
log for details.

======> ovs-vswitchd relevant log:

2020-02-15T21:40:43.791Z|00029|dpif|WARN|system at ovs-system: failed to
add wg10 as port: Invalid argument

Does anyone know if a wireguard interface can be used on an OVS switch? Is
there a need to anything special (other than what I'm doing)?

Thank you very much.
