Hello Jesse,

my e-mail has a link to the debug log which contains that Information.
But from my understanding there are several tap devices: one per host,
4-5 per switch. Tap because it needs layer 2.
There are the last commands that are issued before it crashes:
*** Starting controller
*** Starting 4 switches
s1 *** s1 : ('ifconfig lo up',)
*** s1 : ('ovs-vsctl del-br', <OVSSwitch s1: lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:None,s1-eth2:None,s1-eth3:None,s1-eth4:None pid=6694> )
*** s1 : ('ovs-vsctl add-br', <OVSSwitch s1: lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:None,s1-eth2:None,s1-eth3:None,s1-eth4:None pid=6694> )
*** s1 : ('ovs-vsctl -- set Bridge', <OVSSwitch s1: lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:None,s1-eth2:None,s1-eth3:None,s1-eth4:None pid=6694> , 'other_config:datapath-id=0000000000000001')
*** s1 : ('ovs-vsctl set-fail-mode', <OVSSwitch s1: lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:None,s1-eth2:None,s1-eth3:None,s1-eth4:None pid=6694> , 'secure')
*** s1 : ('ovs-vsctl add-port', <OVSSwitch s1: lo:127.0.0.1,s1-eth1:None,s1-eth2:None,s1-eth3:None,s1-eth4:None pid=6694> , <Intf s1-eth1>)
and than it hangs. I think the last add-port command triggers it.

No, I don't. I just verified that the Ubuntu Mininet uses the
openvswitch kernel module from openvswitch and not the one that is
shipped with the kernel. Ubuntu precise does not crash with the exact same
topology.
