It seems to me that the support for interfaces with type=tap is broken.
I tried to use them with version 1.2.2 on Debian testing.
When i do
ovs-vsctl add-br br0
ovs-vsctl add-port br0 tap0
ovs-vsctl set Interface tap0 type=tap
i would expect that a tap interface with name tap0 is created.
ifconfig -a tap0
tap0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
ovs-vsctl list Interface tap0

status : {}
type : tap
the logfile says:
Oct 31 14:27:21|00008|dpif|WARN|system@br0: failed to add tap0 as
port: Invalid argument
Oct 31 14:27:21|00009|bridge|WARN|tap0 port has no interfaces, dropping
Oct 31 14:27:21|00010|bridge|INFO|destroyed port tap0 on bridge br0
Can anybody confirm that?
