Xen will not use the card directly, but depending upon how you have configured the VM can be either bridged or NATed to your host system, and then able to piggyback on its network connection.
Edit: OK. I see that it appears that the host has a problem with the network card. I know that some drivers are not able to deal with the Xen kernel. Are you running Xen virtual machines? If not, then install the non-xen kernel and update grub to boot from that.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
Just remember, Semper Gumbi - always be flexible!

Actually I am using Xen-kernel to install virtual Machines.The same problem is occurring in the host having broadcom network cards.
