Ben changed it to be compatible with oronico cards (IIRC ?)

what is your routing table ? route -n
I thought it was iwconfig for wireless ?
What scripts does ifconfig use for eth1 ?
ping what ? You have to specify a host.
Are you pinging the internet or the internal one ? I am betting that your
routing table is not what you think [though I do not really know how to
read them myself].
Sorry no wireless here ;(
