Hmm, maybe scratch at least some of that - it probably just means your 
lan cable is plugged in. I walked my laptop over to the router and 
plugged a lan cable in and now I get something more like what your 
output was:

[markir at zul:~]$ netstat -Frn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt 
Iface
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 
eth0
192.168.1.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 
wlan0
169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 
eth0
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 
eth0


However, I do notice that you have your gateway attached to *both* eth0 
and wlan0 - i.e your last 2 lines:

0.0.0.0         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 
wlan0
0.0.0.0         192.168.1.254   0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 
eth0


whereas my machine has only 1 entry - and it changes from being attached 
to wlan0 when I'm using the wireless to eth0 when I plug in a lan cable 
(this machine is running Intrepid). This could well be a source of trouble.
