Of course you are right. However, sendsigs is run at sequence number 20, and 
it kills the wpa_supplicant process.

So, we can remove wpa-ifupdown alltogether when the daemon is not killed 
prematurely by sendsigs. Until then, we opted to at least put down the 
interface cleanly.

Any better ideas?

Thanks, Kel.
