Jesse,

Thanks for the response.

I am actually not loading the ip_gre module and have created the gre0 interface 
with ovs-vsctl add-port br0 gre0 -- set interface gre0 type=gre options....

I thought I had seen a note on the list about not using the ip_gre module.  Is 
that not the case, and should I be using that?  Then I suppose I could change 
the mtu for the gre0 interface in the kernel.

Jeff
