You can look at the DHCP client files and see where to send MAC address to
DHCP server, then specify the MAC of the old NIC.

Subject: [leaf-user] Changing mac address in dhcp mode
Hi,
I'm replacing our current USR firewall/router to a current release
Bering box. I need to change the wan nic mac address (eth0) on the
Bering box to ensure I get the same IP number back from my ISP. I was
able to change it if I had set eth0 to static with the additional
hwaddress line in the interfaces file:
iface eth0 inet static
address 12.34.56.78
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 12.34.56.255
gateway 12.34.56.78.1
hwaddress ether address 00:00:00:00:00:00
but the same line has no effect if eth0 is set for dhcp:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
hwaddress ether address 00:00:00:00:00:00
How do I set the mac address if eth0 is set to dhpc mode?
Thanks,
Stephen
