Hi all,

It looks the current kernel still do not support bridging over gre
tunnels.

I did find an old patch for ip_gre that would enable this [1]. But
it needs porting from 2.4 to 2.6 kernels and looks like it needs
cleaning up too.

Is there newer/better patches to achieve this? Any thoughts about
doing bridging with gre tunnels?

Cheers,
  Timo
