[Bug 917309] [NEW] brcompatd works with brctl delif but doesn't with addif

[Rogério Vinhal Nunes]

Public bug reported:

I'm using the openvswitch updated version in Oneiric. I've installed Xen
and made a xenbr0 bridge in /etc/network/interfaces. When I start the
openvswitch initscript it doesn't remove the bridge module, but loads
the brcompat module.

With this setup, whenever I edit the bridge using brctl, every delif
command removes interfaces from the bridge and also from the ovs bridge,
but when I add an interface with brctl addif, it only adds the interface
in the bridge, and not in the ovs bridge.

I can manually add the interface using ovs-vsctl add-port <bridge>
<interface>, and then delete it again with brctl delif. It works as
intended again with delif, but never with addif.
