The ifup/ifdown works as expected [3].
ifup only works for you because you are lucky enough to have /sys/class/net/wlan0/wireless this /sys/ entry is missing for my setup since last update, otherwise ifup still would correctly work. so this boils down to: why did /sys/class/net/wlan0/wireless vanish with that last update... I'm happy to change my configuration if I'd know what to change...
