    IMHO /etc/hosts.* has nothing to do with being able to ping
    192.168.0.x

    I'm not sure you can have have both machines in the same network.
    Your laptop tries to access 192.168.0.20 directly on the
    wireless network. How is it to know that the WLAN acess link has
    to take the packet and transmit it on a wire link?
    IMHO you have to define two subnets and tell your laptop that
    the access-point is the default route.
    Perhaps you should consult your access point's manual.

    HTH. YMMV.
