Did you also configure the kernel to build the module for that broadcom
NIC?

What do you mean with "start a kernel outside from xen"?

This veth0 is only good for intra-domain networking. It won't help you
communicating with the outside world. 

Configure xen-br0 instead (you broadcom is probably eth0, belonging to
that bridge) like you did with veth0 before, and UP it.

  ip addr del 15.136.125.167/21 dev veth0
  ip link set veth0 down
  ip addr add 15.136.125.167/21 dev xen-br0
  ip link set xen-br0 up
  ip route add default via 15.136.127.254

/nils.
