OK.  Nothing special then.

It could be that the userspace datapath simply doesn't work in the latest 
version of OVS.  We don't test it very often, and this wouldn't be the first 
time that a bug had crept it.  It does get some exposure in the unit tests, but 
the unit tests necessarily can't test the actual use with real system devices, 
so it's not a high-quality test.

Is there a particular reason you want to use the userspace datapath?
The kernel datapath is far more important.

Thanks,

Ben.
