2013-04-03rhel: Add depmod.d conf file for rhel6 kmod package.Gurucharan Shetty
It looks like for Centos6.4, there is an upstream openvswitch kernel module already installed. When we try to install kmod-openvswitch package from this tree's pre-1.10 branches, we get the following warning: "brcompat.ko needs unknown symbol ovs_dp_ioctl_hook". Also, after installing the kmod-openvswitch package, if we run "modprobe openvswitch", the upstream kernel module gets loaded. We should instead load the kernel module compiled from this tree. This patch fixes both the above issues. Bug #15829. Signed-off-by: Gurucharan Shetty <gshetty@nicira.com>

2012-07-26netdev implementation for FreeBSDGiuseppe Lettieri
This patch adds new netdev classes that implement "system" and "tap" devices on FreeBSD using the libpcap library. This enables the use of the "netdev" datapath_type of Open vSwitch on FreeBSD.
