-2. Load both the openvswitch and brcompat kernel modules (which were
- built in step 1), e.g.:
-
- % insmod datapath/linux-2.6/openvswitch_mod.ko
- % insmod datapath/linux-2.6/brcompat_mod.ko

- These kernel modules cannot be loaded if the Linux bridge module is
- already loaded. Thus, you may need to remove any existing bridges
- and unload the bridge module with "rmmod bridge" before you can do
- this. In addition, if you edit your system configuration files to
- load these modules at boot time, it should happen before any bridge
- configuration (e.g. before any calls to "brctl" or "ifup" of any
- bridge interfaces), to ensure that the Open vSwitch kernel modules
- are loaded before the Linux kernel bridge module.
