Thank you for your quick answer.
I have compiled NetworkManager's package myself but I still faced some
issues deploying an ovs bridge.
Besides the NetworkManager-ovs.conf (openvswitch-switch.service instead of
openvswitch.service), what other settings must be modified for this to work
?
Thank you for your time,
Sohaib
