[Netkit.users] installing Open vSwitch in Netkit

[Massimo Rimondini]

Dear Ashish,

I meant a vanilla kernel, which is the clean package provided on the
official web site:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.5.tar.bz2
This is where the Netkit kernel actually starts from.

Debian packages for kernel headers sometimes contain customizations and
may be restricted to specific version numbers, as you have noticed.

Regards,
Massimo.
