We've done somewhat the same thing here, works well.

I think you need to draw a picture, and really understand what is happening.
Your problems so far seem to be IP Address related - for example, when you
activate the cable NIC, does it get an IP address? 

Investigate where routes are pointing, and understand what those routes
mean.

Your problems so far are too general for me to be of more assistance.
