I looked into this release a bit, but was reluctant to try as the

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_BETA2/i386/INSTALL.html

page doesn't mention the DM9102 drivers either.  Is it possible that
the driver is present, but that the INSTALL page hasn't been updated
yet?  I should be able to try out the new version in a couple of days.
Should I let you know if it works when I do?

Sincere thanks for the help.

   I believe the chip is not supported in 1.4.2; the page refers to the
   up-and-coming 1.5 release, I believe.  Try installing the 1.5BETA relase
   (take a look around the i386 page).  1.5BETA is relatively stable at this
   point, and is definitely worth a try.

   Alternatively, you can install a snapshot (again, check the i386 page for
   links, etc...).  The snapshots are relatively stable, but are the "latest
   and greatest" so be prepared for some bumps.

   Hope this helps,
