Hello ilish,

I you wantyour network card working and vTPM you best shot might be a recent 
forward ported kernel from Novell.
See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenDom0Kernels.
These are based on the 2.6.18 xen kernel ported to f.e. 2.6.32 for beter 
hardware support.
I dont know for sure but these have probably vTPM support, and are recent 
enough to support your network card.
