Kernel-mode Support					-*- text -*-
-------------------

The OpenFlow reference implementation no longer includes a kernel module
that implements the datapath. A separate release with kernel-mode support
is expected in 1H2010.

The release you downloaded *may* include the kernel module source files
depending upon the method used to obtain the release. If you downloaded the
release as a compressed tar file (.tar.gz) then you will *not* have the
source for the kernel module. If you downloaded the release directly from
git then you will have the source.

Please note that if you obtained the release via git that the kernel module
source is not built by default and does not implement all features.

Please check the OpenFlow website or subscribe to the openflow-announce
mailing list for updates on the kernel-mode implementation.
