Does connecting to multiple networks with different subnet in Ubuntu actually require some extra steps to work correctly?

I have 2 network interfaces on my computer, one is wired nic and the other is wireless USB adapter. Both of them are connected to different routers on different subnet. Before you ask

$ ip -4 a

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN 

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo

2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP qlen 1000

    inet 10.10.1.2/24 brd 10.10.1.255 scope global eth0

4: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 1000

    inet 192.168.1.2/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global wlan1



$ ip -4 r

default via 10.10.1.1 dev eth0  proto static 

10.10.1.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 10.10.1.2  metric 1 

169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link  metric 1000 

192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan1  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.1.2  metric 2 



$ netstat -rn output

Kernel IP routing table

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface

I can ping both of the gateway IP fine but binding a connection to the USB adapter network never work. So any idea how to fix this?
