# Script to copy built OVS and OF kernel modules to where modprobe will
# find them automatically.  Removes the need to keep an environment variable
# for each, and works nicely with multiple kernel versions.
#
# The downside is that after each recompilation of OVS or OF you'll need to
# re-run this script.  If you're using only one kernel version, then it may be
# a good idea to use a symbolic link in place of the copy below.
