As Nico said, the code just brings the hardware up. The rest is
someone else's job.
I for one use
allow-hotplug ra0
iface ra0 inet manual
wpa-roam /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
and it works OK. (worked on the 701 with ath0 too).

This should not be necessary. wpa_supplicant usually detects that the
interface has gone and quilts. It it doesn't for you, please, report
a bug in wpa_supplicant.
