Do not touch the guest system yet.

Can your Dom0 system see the NIC? Never worked with that stuff before, 
but from that I learned, your super duper OneConnect NIC might be 
presenting each vNIC as a separate Ethernet interface to the host 
system. Ask "ifconfig -a", see if your vNICs are there. If yes, treat 
them just as regular NIC's: build bridges, attach DomU's interfaces to them.
Until you see your Ethernet device(s) within Dom0, you may safely 
consider them "not supported" for practical usage with Xen. Maybe it 
could work with a more recent kernel? 2.6.18 is a patriarch, and your 
card seems to be quite new.
