If you're using APM then you can create scripts for apmd in 
/etc/apm/scripts.d/, symlinked from /etc/apm/{suspend,resume}.d in the 
same style as /etc/rc?.d.  From there you control the sequence that the 
scripts are run and you can [un]load modules and stop/start programs in 
the right order during suspend and resume.
