Why do you have IPs from the same subnet assigned to eth0 and eth1? That=20
likely causes problems (*). To reach other computers via eth1 and the=20
default route, try to remove the route from eth0.

(*) IMO the network layer always sends out network packages for the=20
192.168.0.* net via eth0. To just test the wifi connection, try to=20
remove eth0 completely ("/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down") and route all=20
traffic via eth1.

=2D-=20
There is still the danger of EU software patents!
