FWIW, I think this is probably a good idea.  There's a couple of reasons I
say this.  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.

Regards,

Steven
