The documentation specifies the use of wpa_action(8) for stopping the wpa-roam controlled interface. I have made patches to allow admin to call "ifup/ifdown" on interface controlled by wpa-roam, but the interface is not always configured with respect to ifupdown, for example when not currently associated with network.
