I'm trying to port ovs 1.10.0 (userspace) on a hardware platform by
following the instructions given at:
http://git.openvswitch.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=openvswitch;a=blob;f=PORTING

As indicated in the porting instructions, I am only writing a custom
netdev provider (I have to run ovs in userspace).  I'm able to create
bridge and port to it, with a few warnings:

ovs-vsctl add-br br0 -- set bridge br0 datapath_type=netdev
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 p1 -- set interface p1 type=custom

But when a ping is received at the switch, netdev_send is repeatedly
called with netdev br0 (p1 is never called.)

Any help in this regard would be appreciated. Simply put can anyone
direct me to exact steps that I need to follow to implement a simple
netdev provider for userspace ovs (I've seen the vport, linux & dummy
implementations but they don't explain what changes have to be made to
other files in ovs done to run a netdev provider).
