Connected directly to the N210 without any switches or other detritus in the

Even the cheezy RealTek $25.00 1GiGe PCI or PCIe cards should work for you, 
particularly at lower sample rates.

I have now tested the same graph 
(http://s14.postimage.org/r5ekme5pd/dump_test.jpg) at a lower speed of 1 MS/s
 with the 82579LM. It still produces over-runs.

Then I have tested it with two other Intel Network cards (82583V, 82574L) 
also at 1 MS/s. They don't produce overruns. But if I double the sample 
rate to 2MS/s  I get overruns again.

So the 82579LM definitely performs worse. But the other cards are not really 
much better.

I would like to ask if anybody could try to capture data (see flowgraph) with 
the USRP N210 at such speeds > 2MS/s upto 10MS/s for a longer period of time 
and look if there are overflows?
