Here's my suggestion:

* Use the gre module - it just works in Linux 2.6
* Make sure you've read my recent post to squid-users which outlines what
  I did to get squid-2.6 + wccpv2 working.

The steps are:

* insert gre; make sure you bring up gre0 with some fake IP so the GRE
  subsystem is working
* Make sure you disable rp_filter, enable ip_forward and stuff
* Compile squid-2.6 with netfilter
* Get your transparent interception rules right!
* Disable SELinux; it might be interfering!

Let me know if you're still stuck in a day or two. I'm writing a "howto"
on my experiences setting it up under Debian Sarge/Ubuntu.
