I seem to have gotten my version numbers mixed up. It's Parallels 6 over here as well.

I am not 100% sure there's nothing different in the configuration, but I've made the plan9.ini look the same in both VMs and still it fails to detect the NE2000 emulated ethernet card. There are also ominous messages about usbd: no hub during bootup that don't happen under the old one.

There's no /net/ether0, so I can't run ip/ipconfig to get any further.

I don't see anything interesting there, except that it couldn't initialize usbd. Does usbd work for you?
