"Set dates for 1.9.0 release."
Building brcompat.ko for Debian Wheezy fails with error "openvswitch/datapath/
linux/compat/include/linux/etherdevice.h:13:20: error:
redefinition of ‘eth_hw_addr_random’" because it is already defined in
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.2.0-4-common/include/linux/etherdevice.h
The following patch moves the kernel threshold for defining
dev_hw_addr_random down from < 3.4.0 to < 3.2.0
openvswitch-1.9.0 with this patch was successfully built for Debian Wheezy
with dpkg-buildpackage, the resulting .debs were successfully installed,
and openvswitch.ko and brcompat.ko were successfully built, and inserted
into the running kernel.
Further testing to consider:
* Test against linux kernel versions between 3.2.1 and 3.4.0.
* Test in other distributions that use kernels between 3.2.0 and 3.4.0
