Just to clarify, there are two cards in the machine or two different machines? It makes a difference when dealing with a cable modem as it will bind to the mac address of a particular card.
Good luck. ;-)

Rep:
If one of the boards has connected to the modem you'll likely have to pull the power to it to connect another one. Once you power back up everything you should be able to pull an ip from it.
Good luck. ;-)

Rep:
I understand, I believe the modem is binding to the mac address of the first card. If that is the case you'll need to power down the modem before switching boards/cards.
Good luck. ;-)
