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.
