+Open vSwitch for Debian
+----------------------
+
+* How do I build this module the Debian way?
+
+ - Building with module-assistant:
+
+ $ module-assistant auto-install openvswitch
+ or
+ $ m-a a-i openvswitch
+
+ If kernel source or headers are in a non-standard directory, add
+ the option -k /path/to/kernel/source with the correct path.
+
+ - Building with make-kpkg
+
+ $ cd /usr/src/
+ $ tar jxvf openvswitch.tar.bz2
+ $ cd /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.9
+ $ make-kpkg --added-modules=openvswitch modules
+
+ - Building without make-kpkg
+
+ $ cd /usr/src/
+ $ tar jxvf openvswitch.tar.bz2
+ $ cd modules/openvswitch
+ $ fakeroot debian/rules kdist_image
+
+ If you run this as root, fakeroot is not needed.
