What do you mean you cannot connect?
from the data below it looks like you have both your ethernet interface
and wireless interface on the same network 192.168.1.0/24. It is usual to
have interfaces on seperate networks, or to have procedures for shutting
down the eth0 interface when testing.

What is your routing table like?

from another host can you ping the IP address of wlan0?
