[Bug 1381258] Re: openvswitch-datapath-dkms 1.4.6-0ubuntu1.12.04.3: openvswitch kernel module failed to build [error: too many arguments to function ‘ip_select_ident’]

[Brad Cowie]

The definition of __ip_select_ident() has changed in newer kernels and
this new definition has just been backported into stable kernels.

There is a patch in openvswitch that fixes this issue
(http://openvswitch.org/pipermail/dev/2014-September/045479.html),
unfortunately the patch hasn't made it into a stable release yet.

Someone might want to pull that patch into the ubuntu package so that it
builds properly, you could always apply it manually or run the latest
git version of openvswitch if you want to just get openvswitch working
on your local machine.

I can confirm rolling your kernel back to 3.2.0-69-generic is a
workaround for now and openvswitch will successfully build against this.
