[Bug 1094830] Re: brcompat failed to be loaded

[James Page]

The brcompat module does work in raring; however you need to make sure
that

1) you are using the dkms version of the openvswitch module, not the
stock kernel one

You can do this by stopping the openvswitch-* daemons, unloading the
openvswitch module and then reloading it to pickup the dkms version

sudo service openvswitch-switch stop
sudo rmmod openvswitch
sudo modprobe openvswitch

Always make sure that you install the DKMS package prior to installing
openvswitch-switch itself other wise you may hit this issue.

2) make sure that you don't already have the bridge module loaded

sudo rmmod bridge

After ensuring 1 & 2 are OK then you should be able to load the brcompat
module.

BUT - please note this module is deprecated upstream and will disappear
- so try to move to using openvswitch
