Please ignore my entire previous email -- I was looking in the list
of PHY pcids not the MAC ones. The BCM95702 is supported in stock
2.4.24 Linux and should work.

The fact that you're having trouble getting it to work with stock
Linux is quite mysterious. 

There doesn't appear to be anything in the changelog to suggest
there's a fix in 2.4.25-rc1 but it might be worth trying.

I'd certainly get it working under Linux before attempting to get
it working under Xen.
