TCP/IP configuration should npt be present fpr the wireless, only the wired
interface. Could you post your PROTOCOL.INI and SETUP.CMD?

Okay... this is a good start. We probably aren't getting the tables flushed
when switching adapters.

If you manually bring down your wireless interface (from a prompt, e.g.,
ifconfig lan1 down && ifconfig lan1 delete), and bring up your wired
interface (e.g., ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.100), can you ping your wired
interface? If so, set your default gateway (route add...), and see if you
can ping that. If so, we need to check the XWLAN config to ensure that it
is properly bringing up your wired IF when disconnecting the wireless.
