I don't want brcompat to control the bridge module. I want brcompat to make it possible to REPLACE the bridge kernel module with an OvS switch.
Maybe I wasnt very clear on my environment. I have a host machine running the Xen Hypervisor. Xen Hypervisor works with bridged networking by setting a bridge named xenbr0 with the network interface IP and connecting it to the IP-less network interface. This way, every VM started becomes connected to the xenbr0 bridge along with the physical interface as gateway. I want to make this xenbr0 bridge an OvS switch. That's why I must have a /etc/network/interfaces entry for the xenbr0 bridge, to configure its IP accordingly. I tried blacklisting the bridge module in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, but after restarting the bridge module is still raising. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to openvswitch in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917309 Title: brcompatd works with brctl delif but doesn't with addif To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvswitch/+bug/917309/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
