It is

dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

If you have egrep installed, run the command:

gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP | egrep IAP\|name

Otherwise, just run gconftool-2 -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP and 
look at the output.
