Yes. The module is now built and supplied with the mainstream kernels.

Is the tunnel connected to the right address?

NOTE: What many of the Cisco devices call "router ID" and display as IP
address is not always the IP it sends from. To troubleshoot, find all the
IPs used by the router and make a GRE tunnel from the Linux box to each.
tcpdump should show which one is working.

Just the tunnel setup? or does it identify some packets arriving from
Squid? this latter can be seen in the WCCP report section as connected
peers or proxy servers.
