I presume this is really a PDS ethernet card since the SE/30 has now NuBus?
If you could give us the specifics of the model card it might be helpful.
Also the output of 'dmesg | fgrep thernet'.

If you could just post the first part of the error message it might be
helpful. The hex code is less likely to be needed. Also, if you have a
keyboard prompt at the end you might try typing 't' to get a stack trace.
If you could just give us the routine names from the beginning of each line
it might be helpful.

On the one hand they have been supported for almost as long as the original
II-series machines. On the other hand they do have their quirks.
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
