Bug#427713: Bug #427713: Similar issues in the ifdown phase

There is a related situation where the hook scripts are executed in the 
wrong order:

When bringing down the interface via "ifdown", then 
/etc/network/if-post-down.d/madwifi is executed before 
/etc/network/if-post-down.d/wireless-tools.

In my fresh installation of "etch", this causes strange error messages 
on "ifdown", since the "wireless-tools" script tries to reset the ESSID 
and encryption settings... but the interface is already gone:

 > Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
 >     SET failed on device ath0 ; No such device.
 > Error for wireless request "Set ESSID" (8B1A) :
 >     SET failed on device ath0 ; No such device.

So I would suggest that the post-down-script is also renamed to 
"zzz-madwifi".
