OK, I went back and looked at your original message.  The fact that
you see the

iy0 at isa0 port 0x240-0x24f irq 9: ...

banner means that NetBSD sees the card, which means that at least its
port location is correct.  If you type 

# ifconfig -a

what does it say about iy0?

Are you sure that your /etc/hostname.iy0 file has the correct
contents?

Is the card's entry in the ARP table correct?  Type

# arp -a

to check.

(FYI, note that IRQs 6 and 8 are always in use.  IRQ 6 is still used
by the floppy, even if its driver is absent; and IRQ 8 is used by the
timer.)

-current has some PnP support (see src/sys/dev/isapnp) but at the
moment it supports only a very small subset of devices.  The
EtherExpress PRO isn't supported yet.  But if your problem were
PnP-related, you would not see the iy0 banner during autoconfig.
