* openvswitch: Remove Linux bridge compatibility.Pravin B Shelar2012-12-271-61/+0
| | | | | | | | | Currently brcompat does not work on master due to recent datapath changes. We have decided to remove it as it is not used very widely. Signed-off-by: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com> Acked-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>
* netdev implementation for FreeBSDGiuseppe Lettieri2012-07-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* datapath: omit _mod from module namesChris Wright2012-03-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This renames the datapath modules: openvswitch_mod -> openvswitch brcompat_mod -> brcompat The first makes the module name consistent with upstream, and the latter is just for internal consistency. This makes tools, and documentation refer to a common module name regardless if it's coming from upstream linux or built from datapath/ as part of a local build.

* INSTALL.bridge: Fix suggested ovs-brcompatd invocation.Ben Pfaff2011-07-081-2/+1
| | | | | | ovs-brcompatd no longer accepts any non-option arguments. Also, -vANY:console:EMER is unnecessary, because --detach now implies disabling logging to the console.
* datapath: Rename linux-2.6 and compat-2.6 directories.Jesse Gross2011-06-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | The linux-2.6 and compat-2.6 directories apply equally to the upcoming Linux 3.0 release, so this drops the 2.6 suffix and updates Makefiles. Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Acked-by: Ben Pfaff <blp@nicira.com>
* Cleanup default file locations and XenServer packagingJustin Pettit2010-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit cleans up the locations of a number of files and directories used. These include: - Config file lives in /etc/openvswitch/conf.db - Logs go into /var/log/openvswitch - ovsdb-server socket is /var/run/openvswitch/db.sock - Schema goes into /usr/share/openvswitch/vswitch.ovsschema - PID files go in /var/run/openvswitch For XenServer, these additional changes are made: - Cores go in /var/xen/openvswitch - OVS binaries run in /var/xen/openvswitch In addition, it attempts to cleanup the XenServer packaging. This includes referring to the project as "openvswitch" as opposed to the somewhat presumptuous "vswitch". Note: Changes to the Debian packaging will be forthcoming.
* INSTALL.bridge: Update.Ben Pfaff2010-03-251-25/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | The instructions did not assume the default /usr/local install location, which is confusing. Also, the instructions partially replicated those in INSTALL.Linux, but it seems better to only give the additional steps that are necessary, so do that too. Reported-by: Jeongkeun Lee <jklee@hp.com>

* Correct dameon options in INSTALL.bridgeJustin Pettit2009-11-191-2/+5
| | | | | | | A while back, we retired the short options for daemons. The INSTALL.bridge file was never updated to reflect this. CC: Jeongkeun Lee <jklee@hp.com>
