I have experienced exactly the behaviour as described by doobydave "I 
experience the reverse of this..."@2009-04-18 on a fresh install of Oneiric. 
Drove me crazy for a few days.
The problem is that all the local traffic is still being routed (or at least 
tried to) via the wired interface. Since the nameserver is set to the IP 
address of the router, DNS traffic will fail, as well as other local 
(192.168.1.x) traffic. IP-based internet traffic (skype or pinging IP 
addresses) will however continue. The eth0 interface will keep its IP-address, 
which is not a problem, but what is a problem is that somehow ubuntu tries to 
route traffic through it even when it's disconnected.

dmesg knows it:

The kind wireless connection doesn't matter: I tried three different cards...
