To be clear, the 82579LM issue is something you should look in to.  Not guaranteed that's you're problem, but I can't think of another reason.

Also, to be sure.  You are using this interface in 1GiGE mode, right?  Connected directly to the N210 without any switches or other detritus in the middle?

I use a number of different network interfaces on my machines, they all work.  Even the cheezy RealTek $25.00 1GiGe PCI or PCIe cards should work for you, particularly at lower sample rates.
