Recompile the kernal!!!  Ugghh...  You NEVER have to recompile
the kernal on an Apollo...  Just put the EtherNet card in the
Apollo and run CONFIG from the MD.  You didn't mention wether
this node was diskless or not...  If it's diskless, you will
have to have a disked partner for it on the Ethernet segment. 
Assuming it's a disked node...

   1. Shut down (shut at the login: prompt) and power-off the
         machine.
   2. Replace the network card.
   3. Put the Service/Normal switch on the back of the node
         (toggle switch next to the white reset switch) in
         Service mode.
   4. Power the node up and press return a few times.
   5. You should get a '>' prompt.
   6. Type 'EX CONFIG'
   7. Follow the directions to select Ethernet as the network
         card and as the primary network.
   8. After exiting CONFIG you should get a '>' prompt
   9. Type 'RE', Return a few times to get the '>' again and
         then type 'TE' to test the new configuration.
  10. Put the service/normal switch back in the normal position
         and reset the node.
  11. If everything checked out, the node should boot up and run
         just fine...
  12. You're done...  Relax...

If the node is diskless, things are basically the same but
different enough that I didn't want to confuse things...  If the
node is diskless, mail me and I'll give you the details...
