Looks like this is a pure openvswitch question, not related to quantum, so i would try posting it here: http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss

have fixed this problem, that is because openvswitch has been integrated into linux kernel 3.3, so you need not to install openvswitch on fedora 16, just "modprobe openvswitch" is ok.
