With most WiFi cards bridging will not work, so you may have to setup 
routed networking instead of the (default) bridging.
Also note the the Xen Linux Kernel (2.6.18.8) may not contain the 
"latest and greatest" wireless drivers, so you may want to have a look 
at one of the forward ports available for your favorite distribution...
