From 2b9aca477602fb43f7cc4c19f5ca85d54dbfc0fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Horman Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2025 11:33:31 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] docs: debian: Remove references to installing kernel module. Remove documentation relating to kernel module installation options for Debian as the only option should now be to use the module supplied by the Linux kernel. Support for the OOT module was removed in the v3.0 release of Open vSwitch. And is now no longer supported by any maintained versions of Open vSwitch.
