The missing development tools like autoconf and automake could indeed be installed with brew. Though, I am unable to create a bridge interface. The userspace installation readme says the datapath type is to be changed to netdev as opposed to system and FreeBSD/NetBSD requires the tap driver built into the kernel or loaded as a module. I found tuntaposx which is a tap driver for OS X and could load this module successfully. mbpro:~ root# kextstat | grep tun 136 0 0xffffff7f80a2b000 0x7000 0x7000 net.sf.tuntaposx.tap (1.0) 23FDB715-3D0D-3A26-ACBA-E3794C231CB7 <7 5 4 1> 137 0 0xffffff7f80a21000 0x7000 0x7000 net.sf.tuntaposx.tun (1.0) 95DD963D-E23D-3B0F-8DE8-A4D2F6BFA5CC <7 5 4 1> When I follow the instructions in the readme to create a bridge interface I get the below error messages. /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:28 mbpro ovs-vsctl[2414]: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as ovs-vsctl add-br br0 /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:28 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00011|ofproto|WARN|unknown datapath type system /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:28 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00012|ofproto|WARN|unknown datapath type system /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:28 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00013|ofproto|WARN|could not create datapath br0 of unknown type system /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:28 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00014|bridge|ERR|failed to create bridge br0: Address family not supported by protocol family /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vsctl[2417]: ovs|00001|vsctl|INFO|Called as ovs-vsctl set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00015|netdev|WARN|could not create netdev ovs-netdev of unknown type tap /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00016|dpif|WARN|failed to create datapath ovs-netdev: Address family not supported by protocol family /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00017|ofproto_dpif|ERR|failed to open datapath of type netdev: Address family not supported by protocol family /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00018|ofproto|ERR|failed to open datapath br0: Address family not supported by protocol family /var/log/system.log:Aug 20 09:03:39 mbpro ovs-vswitchd[699]: ovs|00019|bridge|ERR|failed to create bridge br0: Address family not supported by protocol family The ovs-netdev does not seem to know the interface type "tap" according to the error message. Was that part not yet ported to OS X? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
