I've noticed the same thing using wired and wireless, it always defaults to 
the wired route regardless of pre-existing connections. I've just always set 
it manually afterwards. I have tried on occasion playing with the "Route" 
setting in the connection editor, however this has only helped on static vpns 
- perhaps I missed the syntax though. 

Again, never bothered me enough to do anything about it... but since it's on 
the table... there's my two cents. :)
