Here's the one that stops ethernet and starts WiFi

/sbin/ifdown eth-id-00:00:e2:8a:26:aa
/sbin/ifup wlan-id-00:20:e0:8a:a6:ce

And the one that stops WiFi and starts ethernet

/sbin/ifdown wlan-id-00:20:e0:8a:a6:ce
/sbin/ifup eth-id-00:00:e2:8a:26:aa

As I said, they're very simple.
I use the full NIC ID, as there's no guarantee that ethernet will always 
be eth1 etc.
