This doesn't help as the linksys most probably has netmask of 
255.255.255.0 what will help on the other hand is to make eth0:1 
interface in which you will give ip-address in 192.168.1.0 network. For 
example /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfc-eth0:1 could look like 
this, if you are using NetworkManager there is probably some other way 
of doing this, but as I use fedora for desktop so little I haven't 
really checked it out.

DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=none
IPADDR=192.168.1.2
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
TYPE=Ethernet

And then ifup eth0:1 (if it doesn't work service network restart will 
for sure.)

Hope this helps,
