Usually, the drivers also have man pages, so it's possible to figure out what each one does without having to guess too much. The 82579V should use the e1000g driver, but will need updates for the new chipset. (It did need updates on Linux, so the failure to attach reported here is not surprising.) An alternative might be the 'em' driver from Masayuki Murayama.
