Ehh, there can be only one default route. Think about it. It's a "if nothing else matched, use this" type of thing. Same with case statements in every programming language. The Linux routing table is examined top to bottom, the first match is taken. The most specific rules are at the top, the default route is last. Yes you can add more than one default route to the routing table, but as the first always matches, the remaining ones are never-reached dead code. It looks to me that what you want is treating the wireless interface like a ppp interface, with option replacedefaultroute. When the wireless interface is available, it is used instead of wired or nothing. Whether the system scripts support that I don't know. If not, one should be able to hack it. If you're using SuSE, you should ask this on the suse-linux-e list. What you can use as alternatively is SCPM - system configuration profile manager. You create multiple system configurations and switch between them. It was designed for handling system configuration on computers which are taken different places.
