Looks okay to me.

Why is broadcast set to 192.168.140.3? With a gateway set to 140.1
you've got to be able to ping 192.168.140.1, true.

I think the eth1 link is up, because ifconfig show it is.

Now eth1 is set for 1.116 instead of 140.2? ... please reload networking
or reboot to get the settings okay.

# service networking reload

Read up above ...

If reloading the settings doesn't help, maybe someone els with more vlan
experiences, will step in here.
