The only way to stop Roadshow from having network connections is to shut it down completely. But a TCP/IP stack cannot be shut down if programs are still using TCP/IP. That's especially bad if you use something like SMBFS because SMBFS cannot shut down if some files or directories on the network share are still open.

Have had good luck with the offline/online commands shipped with Roadshow. They work directly on the sana2 device, so for it to work, the sana2 device must disable the interrupts when going offline, else there will still be lockups in whdload. If that is the case, it might be possible to send a bug report to the driver author.
As Roadshow does not have to shut down, for example smbfs mounts will keep working after you exit a whdload slave.
