Configuring gre/gretap tunnels fails

[Maximilian Wilhelm]

Configuring gre/gretap tunnels currently fails as the mode or type is not the first parameter when configuring the tunnel. The following code works around that issues but feels hacky. I guess a rewrite of the tunnel executor is called for.

MODE_TYPE="mode"                  
                                  
case "$IF_TUNNEL_MODE" in         
gretap)                           
        COMMAND="link"            
        MODE_TYPE="type"          
        ;;                        
vti6|ipip6|ip6*)                  
        FAMILY="-6"               
        ;;                        
esac                              
                                  
TUNNEL_MODE="$IF_TUNNEL_MODE"     
unset IF_TUNNEL_MODE

The workaround seems fine, but I am not sure where $MODE_TYPE comes into play?
