Here's Dave Golden's response, it's a good summary of the rest:
>>Here's what I can think of for "gotchas":
>>
>>* rebuild your kernel to include the fddi driver (check the system
>> admin manual under "adding hardware" if you've never done this)
>>* check your default route
>>* set the mtu to 1500 unless you know your fddi->enet router can
>> do the fragmentation properly
>>* if you're using networker save/restore, you'll need to go through
>> some gyrations due to the change in IP address
