With the acpi-support package, you should just be able to use the following
in /etc/defaults/acpi-support:

# Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded
# on resume. An example would be MODULES="em8300 yenta_socket"
#
# Note that network cards and USB controllers will automatically be unloaded
# unless they're listed in MODULES_WHITELIST
MODULES="ehci_hcd"

However, as it says, the modules really should be removed anyway (the
network code, iirc, goes through every active interface, ifdowns the
interface and rmmods the associated module, then does the reverse on
resume).

Should be exactly the same, but with whatever module an Aironet card uses.
