I have tried your instructions. I find that, when connected to eth0,
there is 'default gateway'. But 'route' output is different to
wireless one. See below:

wireless output:

192.168.86.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     2      0        0 wlan0
link-local      *               255.255.0.0     U     1000   0        0 wlan0
default         192.168.86.7       0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 wlan0

wired output:

192.168.86.0    *               255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth0
default         192.168.86.7       0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth0

There is no 'link-local' configuration in wired route output. Is it
the problem? /etc/resolv.conf has the same configuration.

Thanks,
Huisi
