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

Matthias

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