Well, this is strange!  For some reason, your system is not activating the 
ethernet driver when under Xen.

When you boot under Xen do you see anything 
in /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:02:00.0 ?

My guess would be that there must be something different in Xen's PCI 
handling, but I'm afraid I don't have a more specific idea, so we might have 
to muddle through a bit!

Cheers,
Mark
