Yes, you want a network route for the ethernet, assuming you stick with
the 255.0.0.0 netmask (which is fine unless you plan to use other portions
of the 10/8 network elsewhere and want to be able to talk to them from these
hosts):

route add -net 10.0.0.0

You don't want the host routes you have listed above (I have vague memories
of entries like that confusing the ARP code). You should have
a line in your routing table like this when it's properly set up:

Dest		Gw	Genmask		Flags	MSS	Window	irtt	Iface
10.0.0.0	*	255.0.0.0	U	0	0	0	eth0
