I notice that you havent actually indicated whether this worked, or how your
setup
attempts to do it at bootup. Yes, your other card works in same slot - so its
likely
ok, but ive seen a few pump mailings (41 on this list, I checked - then theres
the pump-list)

without this, you had no outgoing address, hence the ping from 0.0.0.0 (you).
It makes sense that the router couldnt respond.
(to have a router sending ping-responses to 0.0.0.0 might be bad ;)
Still, the manual config you did looks right, should work around a bad pump.
But, since its not working several days later, its time to second-guess.
rpm -V initscripts
whats route say when;
1- boot w/o any lan-cards
2- boot with ether-card
3- boot with wavelan
also this looks subtly wierd

contrast it to this:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 40 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 40 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 40 0 0 eth0
I have 1 less entry than you, not counting 192.168.1.0 added for my eth0:0 alias,
which you dont need unless youre also running a 'private' (& stably numbered)
network.
Yes ! (I think)
your UG route goes to a single destination-address 192.168.1.0 (think of it like
a mask)
which is also your own host interface (next line down)
in contrast, me UGateway line goes to dest 0.0.0.0, the all accepting mask.
try not doing the
route add host
