If it is a vm nic, it can be add to ovs-on-hyper-v by this way.

$vnic = Get-VMNetworkAdapter VM1
Connect-VMNetworkAdapter -VMNetworkAdapter $vnic -SwitchName external
$vnic | Set-VMNetworkAdapterOVSPort -OVSPortName ovs-port-1
ovs-vsctl.exe add-port br0 ovs-port-1

But if it is a physical nic, how do?

You cannot add a physical NIC directly.

You need to create a VMSwitch on top of the physical NIC.

I.E. New-VMSwitch external -AllowManagementOS $true -NetAdapterName Ethernet1
Enable the extension on the created visual switch:

Enable-VMSwitchExtension openvswitch external
And than add the VMSwitch to the bridge:

ovs-vsctl.exe add-br br0

ovs-vsctl.exe add-port br0 external
