Bug#675010: linux-image-3.3.0-trunk-amd64: Please include CONFIG_OPENVSWITCH as a module
affects 675010 + openvswitch-switch thanks Hi, On 31.05.2012 03:43, Ben Hutchings wrote: Anyhow this module is required to get openvswitch running on Debian, where the userspace utilities do already exist. [...] Have you tried building the kernel with this option? Does the in-tree module work properly with the existing utilities package? I've tried to do so a few days ago using a 3.5 kernel pre-release with the latest user-space utilities available in Debian. The vanilla kernel module works fine with the supplied utilities and look feature complete to me. The utils do not work together with the vanilla kernel module out of the box. That's because of naming confusions between the DKMS kernel module and the upstream kernel module, however. This is a bug in the init script of the package itself. Having that said, the Debian DKMS package also provides a brcompat module which replaces the Linux bridge module. That one is missing in the upstream kernel entirely. -- with kind regards, Arno Töll IRC: daemonkeeper on Freenode/OFTC GnuPG Key-ID: 0x9D80F36D signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

As I understand it, the in-tree version does not yet have all the features of the out-of-tree version, and some features may have to be implemented differently (more integrated with the rest of the kernel). You might know better than me whether the code implementation is different to the DKMS module, but I think kernel 3.3 integrates all features as of Openvswitch 1.4 which makes it ABI compatible to the client utils at least [1] Have you tried building the kernel with this option? Does the in-tree module work properly with the existing utilities package? I guess so but I didn't try. I will do so and come back to you once I tried.
