There is discrepancy between the counters (not just the numbers
itself) betwen ifconfig and iproute.
Kernel is 2.6.20 and iproute is either from 2009 or 2010 :) same thing.

You may notice RX drops in ifconfig which is zero in iproute (but
seems to be same as frames). /proc/net/dev's drop seem to correlate
with ifconfig's numbers in this case. Something's wrong here it seems.
