Hi Luca,

Reviewed-by: Petr Vorel <pvorel@...e.cz>
LGTM, but I'd suggest 2 small changes (see bellow).

I'd put KMODS here:
KMODS="ip6_gre ip6_tunnel ip_gre ip_tunnel gre"

The reason is maintenance of this script - maybe one day there will be other
modules needed to be added, take this list as a configuration (which is usually
in shell scripts in the top).
BTW Maintenance was reason why I didn't like duplicity in modules you had in v1.

As a side effect, this could be lower case (showing it's not a configuration
variable, but just normal variable).
