It is likely to work (try it!). The 82559 cards have a small serial eeprom
that contains all sorts of configuration information, including the PCI
vendor and device ID's - essentially they can be changed trivially. I
think that it can also be used to control which features are active - but I
don't think it can be reprogrammed on the card.
