I think I did. I didn't compile the source files from -current, I used the
binary snapshot. The first time I loaded NetBSD, I used the 1.5.2
binaries. My card was identified something like 'unknown EISA card
MLX0073'. I finally discovered that support for the card was coming in
1.5.3 so I waited for awhile and recently downloaded the files from:
ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/i386/snapshot/20020312-1.5.3_RC1
I downloaded everything in this directory and it's subdirectories, created
boot floppies from the images in the installation/floppy directory and then
reinstalled.
Now, instead of 'unknown EISA card MLX0073', dmesg shows 'Mylex DAC960',
but in both cases, the card wasn't configured.
