Hi Steven,

I apologize - I missed your previous message. I just re-read this thread
and I misunderstood your original intention. As with Lorin, I haven't tried
 this myself, but let's see how far we get.

If you're using OVS for bridging, do you have the brcompat module loaded?
This will enable compatibility with the Linux kernel bridge which
nova-network uses. You can verify that OVS has translated its bridge into a
linux kernel bridge by using the standard "brctl" tool.

In your /etc/network/interfaces file, you have eth4 configured as static,
but no further attributes. If you want to enable the interface but not
configure it with an IP, try changing "static" to "manual".

Next, are you using vlanmanager in nova-network? If so, then continue using
the --vlan flag. If the goal is to have the physical interface mapped
directly (or as close to directly as possible) to your instance, make sure
you choose the vlan that the physical interface is connected to.

Hope that helps,
Joe
