The easiest way, by far, is to upgrade to NetBSD-1.4.2. 1.4.2 has the
same ipfilter that's in current now, so there's no advantage to
running current unless you were already doing so for some other
reason.

"current" is not the latest release--it's the _next_ release, not yet
released. If you need to build a custom kernel for 1.4.2, be sure to
get the syssrc.tgz set from within the NetBSD-1.4.2 directory, and not
the NetBSD-current directory.
