- 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.

-3. Create an initial version of the configuration file, for example
- /etc/ovs-vswitchd.conf. This file may be empty initially or may
- contain add any valid configuration directives described in
- ovs-vswitchd.conf(5). However, it must exist when you start
- ovs-vswitchd.
