No. IIRC, it indicates the card has no auto media selection,
e.g. AUI and UTP.

It'd be as below. Note the "netmask" keyword.
ifconfig inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

I don't know if the card is supported, but some info about

Status page in the MacBSD docs page.

Cayman's Gatorcard PDS for SE/30 is listed there, so I think
your card would work.
