Insure that the laptop is forwarding packets
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
On Debian edit the ip_forward option in /etc/network/options to make
the change permenant.
Tell the gateway-router-wireless device how to find the desktop. Most
of these devices have a static route section. You will
want to specify something like:
address: 192.168.1.0
netmask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: 192.168.0.IP_addr_of_laptop
You probably need to use a static ip on the laptop so it works when
everything is rebooted.
Make sure that the desktop has the the laptop's 192.168.1.1 address as
a default route, not 192.168.0.1.

^^^^^^^^^^^
Should be ip address of laptop: 192.168.1.1

I see nothing wrong with that routing table.
