well after a bit more playing with it, I got linux pci drivers to find the 
xircom PCI card (by letting linux write the pci registers on cardbus), but 
xen still knows nothing about it so things still explode, shortly later 
on.
on another front I have tried the xen 2.0-testing (ie the xen 2.1 
pre-release) which as I understand should leave most of the pci handling 
to dom0... but, ... so far it seems no different than xen 2.0 release in 
that it still does not find the xircom card and it is missing form output 
of /sbin/lspci
