vmware behaves the same if you merely have a wireless network on the
host, it's not a Xen thing. On my box with XP in vmware on top of FC6 I
see this in dmesg (on recent vmware versions, there used to be no sign
of why ARPs didn't get forwarded)
vmnet: You are trying to use wireless bridged networking together with
vmnet: vmware-any-any-update. This is not supported configuration, and
vmnet: your wireless bridge will probably not work.
