RE: NDIS DPC/ISR running in same thread in CE 5.0

There is no mechanism to separate the threads calling MiniportISR( ) and
MiniportInterruptHandler( ), if your NIC buffers are really limited and you
must rely on system memory and a quick turn around, in CE you can spin a
thread to do the indication job. You'd want its priority to be near the
ISR priority (116) and if it's serialized miniport driver, it must call
NdisIMSwitchToMiniport( ) before it calls NDIS functions and
NdisIMRevertBack( ) afterwards.

Before you do that, another suggestion is to make sure that your
MiniportInterruptHandler( ) uses the more optimal
NdisMIndicateReceivePacket( ) and indicate as many packets as it can in one
indication compared to one packet at a time.
