Description Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo 2016-11-29 20:38:58 UTC

As described in the commits below, OVS allows a device with the same name to be opened with different types, and later calls will succeed but grab a reference for a diffrent type. That's a design problem that needs fixing.

Cascardo.
