I don't think the Inter Etherexpress Pro was supported in 0.9.  A driver
for that card was added to NetBSD early in May 1996.  I'm not sure it was
included in the 1.2 release (the WWW page says the card isn't supported.)
You could upgrade to 1.2 and then to -current from the source
distribution.  That is fairly easy, provided you have enought space on
your disks.

>Should I install the latest NetBSD or just get the latest kernel?

You should upgrade to the latest NetBSD though you could get away with
running the latest kernel for a short while.

>Any FAQ for installing network card on NetBSD?

A FAQ is available from http://cynjut.neonramp.com/index.html.
