 Ultimately, the second NetFPGA host was built using Ubuntu 8.04 (kernel 2.6.24-16). To make things neat, user 'netfpga' was created for this process. Make sure the user is added to the sudoers list.

+=== installing NetFPGA drivers ===
 
 First off, you need an account at netfpga.org to download the .tar files needed to install the netfpga drivers. The files needed are netfpga_base_beta_x_x.tar.gz and netfpga_lib.tar.gz. With an account, they can be downloaded from here: http://netfpga.org/beta/distributions/

 Then you can make and install the drivers. Note, the selftest can't be run in Ubuntu. 
 
+=== installing !OpenFlow on NetFPGA ===
+
+General directions are found here: http://netfpga.org/netfpgawiki/index.php/OpenFlow-NetFPGA-090
+
+In order to install !OpenFlow on the FPGA you need both the netFPGA !OpenFlow switch driver and the actual !OpenFlow software. 
+ * netFPGA-OpenFLow-switch package : http://netfpga.org/beta/distributions/netfpga_openflow_switch.0_9_0-1.tar.gz (you need an account to access it)
+ * !OpenFlow : use git (directions below)
+  
+Don't bother with the ./install.sh stuff under the '' Usage '' section of the directions found at netfpga.org, since they are custom-fitted for CentOS. Instead, the directions found at [http://openflowswitch.org/wk/index.php?title=CentOS_Install openflowswitch.org] should be referenced. The directions need to be modified slightly for Ubuntu:
+
+1. ''' Install Dependencies '''
+
+The following are needed to install everything properly (you should be able to `apt-get install` these):
+ * git-core (recommended)
+ * curl - dependency for Git that does not get installed properly due to a known bug in some versions of Ubuntu 
+ * autoconf
+ * automake 
+ * libtool
+ * gcc
+ * pkg-config 
+
+The stuff needed to build kernel modules:
+ * linux-kernel-devel 
+ * kernel-package
+ * linux-libc-dev
+
+
+2. ''' Install ''' [[BR]]
+ 
+The commands, as per the CentOS install page at openflow.org:
+{{{
+git clone git://openflowswitch.org/openflow
+cd openflow
+./boot.sh
+}}}
+Reboot the machine, then build the kernel modules:
+{{{
+./configure --with-l26=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build
+make
+sudo make install
+}}}
+
+3. ''' Check that all is well/ the kernel modules exist: '''
+
+the command
+{{{
+ls <path-to-your-openflow-directory>/datapath/linux-2.6 | grep ofdatapath
+}}}
+should bring up the following 2 things:
+ * ofdatapath.ko
+ * ofdatapath_netfpga.ko
