Changing your NIC won't always force an IP change. Certain cable ISPs do assign your IP address based on the MAC address of your NIC, however not all do this. Hell with some ISPs you can't even change your NIC unless you call them and ask them to update their listing for you.


As for the calling the ISP, he's on DSL which is usually dynamic. All he'd have to do to change his IP is reconnect his router.
