There have been some reports that things work fine for kernels up to 4.6 just by removing the check. However, there have been a large number of patches recently to bring in changes from new kernels (and more are still coming) so I can't really recommend just hoping for the best. The easiest thing to do is likely just to use the OVS module that is shipped as part of your distribution kernel - it is pretty recent so it should have most features. If you really need something that is missing from that (NAT is the most obvious example) then the best path is likely to wait a little while longer and use the master branch. _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
