Hi,

I am trying to use Open vSwitch without kernel support. I installed OVS
following the instructions in
http://openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob_plain;f=INSTALL.Linux;hb=HEAD.
However I did not create a bridge using ovs-vsctl as indicated at the end of
that manual. Instead I followed the instructions given in
"INSTALL.userspace" and tried to start the ovs-openflowd in userspace mode
using the command:

ovs-openflowd netdev@br0 --ports=eth0,eth1,eth2

The problem is that ovs-openflowd crashes with a segmentation fault. Here is
the output I get:

samehdi@linux-pc:~/openvswitch-1.1.0pre2$ sudo ovs-openflowd
netdev@br0--ports=eth0,eth1,eth2
Feb 23 21:33:43|00001|openflowd|INFO|Open vSwitch version 1.1.0pre2
Feb 23 21:33:43|00002|openflowd|INFO|OpenFlow protocol version 0x01
Feb 23 21:33:43|00003|ofproto|INFO|using datapath ID 0000002320803e1e
Segmentation fault

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" and 'uname -a' returns the
following string:

Linux linux-pc 2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010
i686 GNU/Linux

I would appreciate any help with this.
