I answer myself, referring to the use of pkill wpa_supplicant:
#include <signal.h>
int kill_wpa_supplicant(void)
{
pid_t wpa_pid;
FILE *fp;
fp = (fopen("/var/run/wpa_supplicant.pid", "r"));
if (fp == NULL) {
printf("Couldn't read Wpasupplicant pid file, not trying to kill.");
return 0;
aitor, please notice that the pid file for wpa_supplicant can be
literally*anywhere*. At the moment, in Devuan Beowulf, it is stored
in the folder/var/run/wpa_supplicant/. But this is just very
unreliable, IMHO. Please also consider that `wpa_supplicant(8)` has an
option "-P" that allows to specify the path to pidfile...

This is the pidfile used in netcfg, which has been is written
specifically for the debian-installer,
and surelly it won't work as expected on a full system. Later i'll have
a look atthe code of etherconf.
Thanks for your clarification:)
Aitor.
