Thanks Do you know which kernel module should be included in kernel config file? Since we could create gre interfaces without any problems before we customize the kernel.

Maybe your ifconfig needs to be rebuilt if you have not build system and binaries from the same sources, but no other idea here... Also, in my sources I did not find 'device gre' in kernel either, so I am not sure if this possibility even exists, but you can try it just to be sure... > On Monday, February 17, 2014 1:40 PM, Milan Obuch > <freebsd-hackers@dino.sk> wrote: > On Mon, 17 Feb 2014 01:52:38 -0800 (PST) > > > >Nomad Esst <noname.esst@yahoo.com> wrote: > > > >> Hi > >> Recently I've customized my kernel and deleted most of unused > >> devices and options.
