I'm having trouble configuring the OVS startup sequence correctly such that ports are available when the Linux network subsystem attempts to start. I'm running OpenSuSE 11.3 and OpenvSwitch 1.1.0pre1. The ovsdb-server, ovs-vswitchd, and ovs-brcompatd daemons start correctly at boot time. I currently have them starting before Linux attempts to start network devices, as I was under the impression this would allow all of the devices to be created successfully. However, this does not seem to be the case - although these daemons start correctly, the interfaces (br0, my bridge, and dom0.0, an internal interface I created) are not available when Linux tries to bring up interfaces. If I shut down all of the daemons and restart them, the interfaces show up correctly.
I've also noticed another problem. When eth0 is added to br0 (not via Linux bridging, but via open vSwitch) it does not seem to operate in promiscuous mode. This is problematic for internal interface that I've created, as packets going back to that interface (right now, DHCP responses) don't get put through. Any hints on how to solve this one?
