I simply ran:

vconfig add rcg0 1
ifconfig rcg0.1 up

(the gretap interface is called rcg0, obviously)

Now that I think of it I did not try to add the vlan using the 'ip link
add' command though I'm not entirely sure it would make much of a
difference.  We sort of bypassed the problem using more hardware so the
test rig is dismantled now but if you feel there really is something to
it, I can set it back up.

Thanks again,

Jonathan

P.S.:  Gretap flies...  The little atom 1.6 boards I tested this on gave
me 877Mbit/sec without breaking a sweat.
