Bug Description
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Package Version: NA
Issue: Ubuntu NetworkManager packages for Ubuntu 20.04+ lack OVS support.
Expected:
Running the following:
`nmcli con up ovs-mgmt1`
`nmcli connection add type ovs-interface con-name mgmt1 ifname mgmt1 ip4 192.168.16.2/24 gw4 192.168.16.1 master internal`
Should raise the ovs interface(es) defined.
Actual results:
`Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-interface' unavailable`
`Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-port' unavailable`
`Connection activation failed: NetworkManager plugin for 'ovs-bridge' unavailable`
*depending on interface type being raised
Argument:
As of the release of rpm distros {CentOS,RHEL} 8.x there is no standard method to raise OVS interfaces without resorting to depricated ifscripts. deb based releases dropped NetworkManager nm-* support for OVS in favor of networkd. rpm based releases have dropped networkd in favor of NetworkManager.

Indeed Debian disabled the option in the nm build

But didn't provide a new binary for it yet it seems
