The hybrid driver is the OVS driver. It was created due to the fact that 
there were problems with Nova's security groups and the OVS driver that 
you had installed. There is still the VLAN limitation. But when one is 
using the OVS implementation one is able to define tunnels. This enables 
one to break out of the limit of the VLAN.

Hope that this little bit of information helps.
