ok, here's everything i know =)

sold to me as "10BaseT & AUI network card for SE/30"

on the port part of the card it reads..
"CABLETRON SYSTEMS INC.  PN 9000206-01"
and on the PDS side of the card it says..
"CABLETRON SYSTEMS INC.  PN 9000209-06 SE/30"

in relation to RAM, theres no much on the card that gives clues, 
except for one jumper that is set to "16K". the other option being 
"64K".

going to cabletron.com, i think the card must be an DNI Ethertalk 
Phase 2 for SE/30, NuBus....

http://www.cabletron.com/support/dni-config/tables/part-no.htm#Model_E50xx_DNI

that looks like a list of all their SE/30 cards they ever made, but 
funnily enough the serial numbers aren't on the board anywhere. not 
in the same format for sure anyway.

hmm im just more lost and confused now. so it must be a E50xx DNI 
Card but what do we do now? =)

oh! it also has a little switch - ON/OFF - labeled SQE...?

hmm.
