>Description:
gre(4) interface is created with flag RUNNING missing during the boot.
I have to initialize it with the 'ifconfig greX down; ifconfig greX up;' command.
Problem first appeared on 7.2, on 6.x things were fine.
Problem persist across i386/amd64 architectures.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create gre(4) interface, reboot.
>Fix:
I had to write my own rc-scripts to initialize the interfaces on my routers.
