OE does not really work with 2.6's NETKEY because the NETKEY stack drops 
packets if a tunnel is not (yet) up. Since OE is very dynamic, it sets up
tunnels after a packet triggers it, this is a big problem.

Are you sure you want or need OE?
If you just want branches to be conencted, you should use predefined tunnels.
