netcfg2 disconnect network

I finally got rid of networkmanager and set up netcfg2 with 2 profiles, one for wired and one for wireless network. This works as it should (It connects properly at boot-time) but how do i disconnect ?
The reason I ask is because when I was making the profiles and to make sure they were ok, I've plugged in my ethernet cable and connected to my wired network with netcfg-menu. I then ran netcfg-menu again this time choosing my wireless network and it connected successfully to that as well only it didn't drop the connection to the wired network and was reporting them both up, which of course could not be possible and hence my internet connection didn't work.

So, how can I disconnect from my wired network profile before connecting to wireless ?

Try /etc/rc.d/net-profiles stop

or
netcfg2 all-down

Re: netcfg2 disconnect network

netcfg2 -d <profile_name>

of if you want to do it in one step

netcfg2 -d <profile>; netcfg2 <new_profile>
