I think the cable is good. I'll try testing it by connecting b/w two
computers that I know have good network setups. At present the end connected
to eth1 is wire scheme A, and the end plugged into the client is wire scheme
B ...

/etc/shorewall/masq:
eth1:192.168.1.1        eth1           192.168.1.1     tcp     www

You want something more like:
#INTERFACE      SUBNET          ADDRESS         PROTO   PORT(S) IPSEC
eth0            eth1

I made the changes you mentioned:

/etc/shorewall/init
route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 gw 192.168.1.1 eth1

Dump it

After doing so I issued shorewall clear and tried to ping my client (
192.168.1.2). Still destination unreachable. Is that to be expected, or now
that the fw is stopped, should the client be replying (if my network
settings on my firewall are correct and my x-over cable are good)? I can
still ping 192.168.1.1 from the firewall.

Get rid of the above route.

This should not show no link.  Does the client show it's interface as
up?  Are you sure your x-over cable is good? This it the root of your
problem.

#INTERFACE      SUBNET          ADDRESS         PROTO   PORT(S) IPSEC
eth0            eth1

Keep it simple like that until you know things are working.
