That network's weird, I think.  You have a static IP of 192.168.2.38,
and a subnet of 255.255.255.0 .  All good so far.  But then you say your
wireless router has an IP of 102.168.2.1 .  Is that a typo, because
that's not a standard internal address?  Anyway, your gateway address
should match the wireless router IP.  If that really is your wireless
router address, I think you should change the static IP to 102.168.2.38
and the gateway to 102.168.2.1 .

I should clarify that my wireless card doesn't have a libre driver, so
I'm not using wireless on (K)ubuntu myself.

Apparently:

iwconfig eth1 essid mgj_ventures channel 6 key BADF00D

(BADFOOD should be replaced with your key) does it though.
