You can test this.  Try running POX without l2_learning.  Does the ping work?  Then try running *with* l2_learning.  Does the ping work?

Run POX.  Wait for it to connect.  Do a ping test.  Shut down POX.  Send the entire POX log.

> 1 more thing i can use enable_learning '0' in switch configuration on openwrt but it doesnt effect any thing, where i think of this statement as disable default learning of the switch. the switch chip installed is 'rtl8366rb'. I have a rb450g and i have ported the latest openwrt and followed pantou but same error.

I don't really know much about this configuration.  The openflow-discuss list (and Yiannis in particular) will have better ideas.

One thought I'd give is that it looks like you've got it configured for in-band OpenFlow.  I'd suggest that it may be a good idea to try to get out-of-band OpenFlow working first.
