Incorrect. Add a debug print to the case statement (eg echo "$0 $MODE $PHASE")

run-parts: executing /etc/network/if-down.d/wpasupplicant                                                                                                                                 
/etc/network/if-down.d/wpasupplicant stop pre-down
