I'm always reluctant to use either kernel headers or versions of iproute which are newer than the kernel. You haven't said which headers you used, ideally they should come from the _patched_ kernel, but changing them means rebuilding the whole system so I wouldn't do that just for the sake of it. Iproute is a different can of worms - I recommend you try an older version, 2.6.20-070313 in this case. That doesn't guarantee to fix this, of course.
