As a matter of interest, 
what command do you give to see the MAC address?

Assuming this was with iwconfig,
I would have thought it showed you were almost there,
as someone else suggested.

Maybe you have to give direct "ip route" or "route" commands
to specify the routing setup?
I prefer the output from the old "route" command,
which seems to me to be more easily understood.
Maybe commands like
  route delete default  
  route add default gw 192.168.1.33
?
