What is the version you are developing with?

See that:

In the Nios II v9.0 or later, the TCP/IP includes the networking stack of the Nichstack, however, the DE2_NET project was built on the LWIP. The driver for the DM9000A should be different in the Nichstack to the LWIP. Then, if you want to migrate the DE2_Net project to Nios II v11.1, you have to create a new driver for the DM9000A at first.
