Hi Ben,

I'm not the official network guy, that's just my attempt to port the 
current xapi network behaviors
to debian. Xapi has two networking mode, bridge or openvswitch and my 
suggestion to install
bridge-utils is to be able switch between the modes, but they are not 
used in the openvswitch mode.
About openvswitch-brcompat, i don't think it is used actually, at least 
not in the scripts i've modified,
so it'll probably get dropped.

Anyway I heard those scripts are going to be rewritten, so I don't know 
if mines will be officially used.
I hope I will get some feedback from Mike or Jonathan about them. At 
least on my side it's working :)
Best regards,
SÃbastien
