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.
