Have you tried this?

You definitely emailed us diagnostics with eth1 having an ip and able to
ping the wifi router.  This is now the _only_ thing not working.  Using
the Linux laptop admin tools, perhaps via wicd, you may be able to get
this working with manual settings for the ip as mentioned above.  If it
doesn't work, check the wifi settings, signal strength etc in wicd.
Also perhaps use sudo tcpdump -i eth1
