Description:
The netctl connection module /usr/lib/network/connections/openvswitch is clearly experimental and does not work. The attached file does work. It uses existing options and thus the only documentation burden would be to (a) add to connection types and (b) note that the ovs-vswitchd.service service must be started (I appreciate this is AUR). Then it works with e.g. /etc/netctl/ovs-br0 (assuming your host is also 'eeyore':). Description="ovs example" Connection=openvswitch Interface=ovs-br0 BindsToInterfaces=(eth0) Description=openvswitch IP=dhcp Hostname=eeyore DHCPClient=dhcpcd Additional info: * Versions 1.0 and testing 1.1-1 * (see attached script) Steps to reproduce: Try to use an openvswitch interface with netctl Please consider incorporating the attached file. -jh

Reason for closing: Upstream
Additional comments about closing: This is for the AUR package openvswitch-git and not for netctl. If you are after inclusion of the openvswitch connection type in netctl, raise a discussion on arch-projects.
