Okay, I've found a workaround, though it is indeed very concerning. My system was unusable while out of the wire so I've tried downgrading kernels.
After unsuccessful try of the 3.13.0.71 (and all later) I tried another one:
uname -a Linux dsmdmini-mint 3.13.0-37-generic #64-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 22 21:28:38 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
And it appear to work with this driver, at least packet loss was 6%, which is acceptable.
But it really concerns me since this kernel has some security issues, which were fixed later.
So, briefly, if anyone has the same problem, downgrading helps a bit, but it's really silly thing to do.
