I understand your explanation.

My problem now is to identify why the packages were dropped.

Wireshark report what listen and with ifconfig I only know how many have 
been dropped.

I made a program, inline at the end, that tries to see the sockets that 
I can create on a system, that will give me a idea of what protocol 
handler that I have.

The program isn't complete and the options are a lot ...

Even with this I only can see the log of tcpdump and try to find frames 
that belong to protocols not supported, don't know if there isn't 
another reason, like Softnet backlog full or Bad / Unintended VLAN tags

Is there any way of put tcpdump or other tool to only log the packages 
dropped ?

Thanks
