<snip> I didn't follow this thread completeley but having two default routes is definitly the cause of slow (or even unworkable) networking.
I would write a script that is run at bootlevel to determine if you have eth0 or wlan0 or both and change things at the default level accordingly (including dhcp, iptables, routing and maybe other things as well). I did this on several machines and laptops. If the existence of wlan0 depends on a pcmcia card you can simply test it at bootlevel with ifconfig. If wlan0 is always existing (e.g. by a pci-nic) but you don't want to use it, you might create different ways of booting the system (with or without wlan0) by suffixing your kernelcommand in grub.conf with wlan0 or not and in your script test with "grep wlan0 /proc/commandline" (or something like that).
