I have not exactly the same setup (both wireless for me) but it should
work too. I will try again tonight. My conclusion (perhaps wrong) was
that it was not possible to ifdown if a wlan was present but not the one
configured (I realize it doesn't make a lot of sense).

Is there a way to see the available wlan when the wireless network is
up. I would really like a setup that ifup automatically the wireless
interface when a known wlan is available anf ifdown when no wlan is
available. 
I used to use the ifplugd package to so something similar for wire
network.

Thanks,
Christophe
