Unless you use Sushi, which was announced a year ago...

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-announce/2001/01/05/0000.html

Sushi is not in 1.5.x, only in -current so it will show up when the next
major release comes out.

Not that knowing how to configure things by hand is bad - but it is
optional :-)
