The last few months I have used only wireless connection. Today I have had to use my cable and could not connect to Internet.
Code:
localhost mirek # lspci

Are you machine and router really meant to be on different subnets?

I am not sure what do you mean " to be on different subnets"

Ok. I have changed gw to 192.168.1.1
Code:
localhost mirek # /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart
 * Stopping eth0
 *   Loading networking modules for eth0
 *     modules: iwconfig essidnet iptunnel ifconfig dhcpcd pump apipa

So can you ping the g/w? Can you ping IP addresses on Internet? Can you resolve DNS? What do you get when you run ifconfig -a?

I can not ping the g/w
Code:
localhost mirek # ping 216.239.57.99
connect: Network is unreachable

and output of ifconfig -a:

OK. So you still have a residual from the previous error with broadcast address being on the wrong subnet 192.168.0.x.

Not sure if that would stop you reaching the G/W. Maybe. Can you please paste the output of
Code:
route

Ok:
Code:
localhost mirek # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0     *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
loopback        localhost       255.0.0.0       UG    0      0        0 lo
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0


and my working wireless:
Code:
localhost mirek # route

I notice that eth1 uses miroslaw as its default g/w. What is that? Is it also 192.168.1.1?

I am not sure how can I check it? I use dhcp for eth1 and static for eth0. I use also ifplugd, maybe it change any config?

You could look for it in /etc/hosts. You could ping it from the wireless set-up and see the IP that way.

I am confused now.
My hostname:
Code:
tux mirek # cat /etc/conf.d/hostname
# /etc/conf.d/hostname

# Set to the hostname of this machine
HOSTNAME="tux"


and my /etc/hosts
Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost tux

What I have to check now

BTW. If I unplug end plug my pcmcia card in again I miss the wireless connection. It will not help command /etc/init.d/net.eth1 restart, I have to reboot my laptop to get it back again.

It is something wrong with my dhcppd-2.0.0 configuration. My /etc/dhcp is empty; I believe it should be dhcpd.conf file there?
I miss also /etc/conf.d/dhcp file.
As usual any suggetions would be much appreciated, Thanx
