If i'm understanding you correctly you have your two Wireless nics connected via Adhoc and then you plugin your wired nic and its given an IP. Since you are running in AdHoc without an Access Point your wired NIC has no idea how to connect to the wireless card because the two devices arent bridged, you are in essence running with the same IP range or subnet of 192.168.0.x on two different networks, you have no bridge between the Adhoc Cards and the Wired Nic even though they are in the same subnet, if you follow. If you have WindowsXP you can go ahead and "Bridge" those connections otherwise you'll never be able to ping the wireless nic while plugged into the wired network at the same time as the wired networks IP is getting first priority.
