This is what a PPP connection does when it takes over from an existing wired connection. Also, I've seen odd things happen if I do not delete the old default route before bringing down the wired interface. The supposedly deleted route will reappear on its own. I'm not exactly sure why, but my best guess it that once the interface associated with the default route is gone, the stack can't find it to delete it, so it fails without complaining.
