If the wireless interface is indeed eth0 there could be lots of debugging
ahead of us. If not .....
As Raf Czlonka has already said, using /etc/network/interfaces and its
integration with wpa_supplicant is the way to go. You do not even need a
wpa_supplicant.conf file.
iface eth0 inet dhcp
wpa-ssid myssid
wpa-psk passphrase
should give a working setup.
