[driverloader] driverloader suspend/resume issues

I'm having terrible trouble getting driverloader to play nice with
suspend/resume on my laptop.
The driver works OK until I suspend by closing the lid (I rarely power
the laptop off normally). When resuming about 3-5 seconds after
powering up it freezes and requires a cold reboot.
There's nothing written to the logs, and I've tried manually shutting
down driverloader before suspend and all sorts of tricks... it gets
restarted by the resume scripts and promptly falls over. I'm guessing
this card (dlink DWL-G650) doesn't support suspend/resume (the internal
orinoco card suspends/resumes just fine so I know everything else is
working).
I tried removing driverloader from the modules.pcimap but doing a
'cardctl insert' puts it back again... How do I switch the autoload off
permanently? It's pretty unusable in its current state. I can rename
the kernel module before resume but I'm looking for something I can let
my non-techie wife use (creating an script that does modprobe/ifup isn't
that hard if I work out how to give it root privs... having to get her
to remember never to close the lid until she's run a script that renames
a kernel module and does a depmod plus dldrstop is probably asking a bit
much.. she'll forget and eventually one of the crashes will cause disk
corruption).
This is Kernel 2.6.5 running driverloader 1.66 on a Toshiba Satellite
Pro 6100 w/debian unstable.
