Description of problem:
If, while connected over wifi, ethernet connection is made, routing table is not properly updated

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot a laptop without ethernet, have it connected to a wifi network
2. Connect ethernet cable (same network)
3. Browse pages/check email/etc.

Actual results:
Wifi route is stuck as the default in the routing table, so network connection is not working right.

Expected results:
routing table should become exactly same as it would've been if laptop was booted up with wifi and ethernet enabled and plugged in, respectively.

Additional info:
Turning wifi off and then back on seems to work around the problem because the wifi interface gateway is removed when wifi is disabled. When re-added, wifi doesn't override ethernet gateway (correct behavior)
