[OpenWrt-Devel] Fwd: OpenVSwitch 2.5.0 for Linux kernel 4.3

[Ronaldo Afonso]

  Hi all,

  I'd like to take advantage of that thread and ask you guys if there is
someone working on porting "netifd package" to support Open vSwitch.

  Jeroen,

  How are you planning to configure your /etc/config/network file in order
for it to work with Open vSwitch?

  Thanks in advance ...
