according to

"You just kill fsoraw or wpa_supplicant and the wifi module gets
unpowered and the driver unloaded. This works automatically and every
time. That way even if the firmware was crashed it will be reloaded
without any additional actions from you side. Also by using it the way
i propose you do not trigger ifconfig up/down bug."

the module should get unloaded when not used anymore.

'tis pity.
but when the module is unloaded according to the quote, it should be  
simply reloaded the next time and thus be reset -- even after  
suspend/resume?
