Hi,

The openvswitch mainline kernel support doesn't include GRE support,
and therefore neither does the Ubuntu Kernel.  This is resolved by
installing the dkms module via, sudo apt-get install
openvswitch-datapath-dkms.

The initial 12.10 openvswitch package had this disabled, as it was
believed that it was now all in mainline.  However, the dkms module
was re-enabled to resolve this.

It was tracked via bug,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1068365

Thanks.
