I wasn't aware of that. In that case, it is probable that the address
can be specified in /etc/modules or something in /etc/modutils.

Have you tried turing off the cable modem for a few minutes, then
switching the cards? A friend of mine has Road Runner, and he found
out from tech support that the cable modem is what latches onto the
first MAC it sees. If he shuts off the modem for a minute (to
discharge any capacitors and clear the memory) then when it powers
back on it will latch on to the new NIC.
