routing weirdness

hi!

i have a notebook connected to a wlan router, which is in turn connected
to my gateway to internet

notebook <-> wlan <-> gw <-> ... internet ...

when i (192.168.1.4) am connected via cable (dc0) to the wlan router(192.168.1.1)
everything works fine.

but then, when i want to switch to wlan (ath0), i shut down the dc0 interface
(ifconfig dc0 down), enable the wlan card, (ifconfig ath0 inet 192.168.1.3 ssid daemon &
					    ifconfig ath0 up).
then i flush my routing table (route flush) and add default gateway (route add default 192.168.1.1).

now i can ping my wlan router (192.168.1.1) but i do not get outside anymore (192.168.0.1)
for example, because, as route get 192.168.0.1 reveals, the system still uses
dc0 for getting outside. 

how can i force the system to do not use the deactivated device anymore?
