      Given a system administrator running a system with NetworkManager, 
      When they configure an OVS bridge with `datapath-type` set to `netdev` and initiate a DHCP request, 
      Then the DHCP process should complete successfully without errors, and an IP address should be allocated to the interface and the OVS bridge should be correctly set up and functional with the given `datapath-type`.

      • The implementation meets the acceptance criteria
      • The unit test and integration tests are written and passed
      • The code is part of a build attached to an errata

      The DHCP process is not following trough when the interface is an ovs-interface attached to an ovs-bridge of ovs-bridge.datapath-type netdev. The following log message is seen:
