Seems really complicated (and stupid...) to run both interfaces on the
same net. So now I changed eth0 to 192.168.1.90, rausb0 remains at
192.168.0.55. Thanks for your advices!
I can now boot the Fox Board with Eth-cable disconnected and still
connect to the board! :)

BTW, I also succeded to use WPA with this. I know it may complicate
things, but I had to switch to WPA when my neighbour decided to have a
look in my computers...

From the command line I did this:
iwpriv rausb0 set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv rausb0 set EncrypType=TKIP
iwconfig rausb0 essid <MyEssid>
iwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK=<Key>

I then changed the config:

vi /etc/init.d/wireless
# set the known wep keys
#information "WEP: $KEY"
#/usr/sbin/iwconfig $DEV key $KEY [1]

iwpriv $DEV set AuthMode=WPAPSK
iwpriv $DEV set EncrypType=TKIP
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $DEV essid $ESSID
...
#end of dirty work around
iwpriv rausb0 set WPAPSK=34D...

The values shall be set in /etc/conf.d/net.wireless, have to fix that.
