I see that the ethernet interface (wm(4) in this case) keeps the IP 
configuration when the carrier goes away and the wifi interface is 
being brought up, which leads to confusion in my setup. Since both 
interfaces are in different subnets, the machine cannot reach the LAN 
subnet via Wifi.

That could be mitigated by just downing wm(4), or - more convoluted - 
by manually clearing the routes on it. The former feels more 
straightforward.

Cheerio,
Hauke
