Not sure this will help, but in case... These are the install steps I take on Ubuntu 12.04 to install openvswitch and ensure that the bridge module doesn't load on boot preventing brcompat from loading.
modprobe -r bridge apt-get install openvswitch-switch openvswitch-controller openvswitch-brcompat echo "blacklist bridge" > /etc/modprobe.d/bridge.conf echo "BRCOMPAT=yes" >> /etc/default/openvswitch-switch /etc/init.d/openvswitch-switch start apt-get remove ebtables depmod -a update-initramfs -u rm /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart/* Many of these steps are the same or equivalent to what's listed in that link. Oh and after every kernel upgrade I also need to use dkms to build and install the ovs kernel module again.

That seems odd, since it seems like other people have got it set up successfully. It clearly seems to be an issue with your startup scripts. If you want to debug it yourself, you may want to start looking at the ovs-ctl script, which does most of that work. Otherwise, I probably won't have a chance to look at it until early next week. --Justin On Aug 24, 2012, at 11:59 AM, Markus Ose <ose.mar...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'm using the 12.04 package > > > Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind regards > > Markus Ose > > -- > Markus Ose, > Mobile +49 (0) 174 3428101 > Mail ose.mar...@gmail.com > GTalk ose.markus > > Sent by my Galaxy Nexus > > Am 24.08.2012 20:41 schrieb "Justin Pettit" <jpet...@nicira.com>: > Which version of OVS are you using?
