Hello,
I have reported the problem to Altera that forwarded it to Terasic. I received the following suggestions. Unfortunately I could not test it yet.
We don't have any clue on this situation, but I think this is Quartus II 6.0
bug. The Avalon bus timing is difference between QuartusII 6.0 and 5.1.
1. If you use Quartus II and Nios II 6.0, please upgrade DE2_project from
the following link.

2. You can use DE2_NET project to test your Ethernet. This test program was
in the DE2 CD-ROM. Please refer the user manual page 63.
3. Please download the new version DE2 CD-ROM from the next link, this
version was fully compatible with Quartus II 6.0 and Nios II 6.0.
