Hello World, Since this is my first post on this list I'd like to start it by thanking you for all the hard work you've put in this useful and beautiful technology.
I have just installed openvswitch 1.8 from source on a Debian Squeeze 6.0.5. I have followed the well documented procedure available in INSTALL.Linux. Everything worked like a charm. The kernel module is now in $OVS_SRC/datapath/linux/openvswitch.ko. I can load it just fine using insmod. Maybe the question that follows is more related to Debian rather than OpenvSwitch and I apologize if that's the case. How will the OS know to load openvswitch.ko at reboot. Shouldn't the make install step install the module in /lib/modules? I think I can copy the module to /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/net/openvswitch/openvswitch.ko and this would work. Is this correct? And also copy the brcompat.ko if I need it. The INSTALL.Linux mentions that I can build a Debian package, I think that would install everything where it belongs. Haven't tried that yet to be perfectly honest. That's the next step. Thanks for your time. Good Will, v
