Thanks Thomas. :-)
Yes, it is a good reason. I understand. 

Still the priority issue is unclear. In my case this leads to the CPU been 
busy inside the stack and not receiving the packets in driver. Thus driver 
was stuck after 28 packets.

Now, when I made driver priority a bit higher, it receives all packets without 
a loss, but the application sees those 28 packets only!

Please, can you give me a hint where to look for them? 

P.S. I also checked the ifqmaxlen parameter, but it is 50, not 28...
