That is not the problem - you can assign whatever netmask you need.
One - did you plumb the interface first?
- ifconfig bge1 plumb
Two - Probably what you really need. There's a new networking stack.
I've seen at least half a dozen writeups of how to setup a static IP
address. Here's one -

But when I connect my linux machine to that network I always give the
netmask 255.255.255.0 and it is connected. I think so this is not the
problem

Hi all,
I have installed the text installation of current version
of opensolaris express on SUN ultra 45 workstation. When I try
to configure my network manually by using:
root@solaris-rbridge3:~#
ifconfig bge1 10.3.93.40 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
It gives an error:
ifconfig: could not create
address: operation not supported
Please help me out.

Seems like that is a class A ip address and I think class A ip
addresses uses a netmask of 255.0.0.0
