I've never tried this, but it might work if you make the MAC address for
a new card the same as the FA311.  Run ifconfig on the FA311 to get the
HWaddr, and then run ifconfig on the new card to set it.  e.g:

# ifconfig eth0 | perl -ne 'print $1 if s/HWaddr\s+(\S+)/$1/' >
    fa311.mac
# shutdown -r now
-- change cards --
# ifconfig eth0 hw ether `cat fa311.mac`
