This seems like a possible kernel bug to me. If it were, say, a USB 
wireless adapter, and you unplugged it, the kernel would disable the 
ethX device, and remove the routes. So, shouldn't the RF kill switch do 
exactly the same?  That would also be consistent with bluetooth, where 
the bluetooth device goes away when the RF-kill switch is operated.
