You probably want to use a script which has been setuid'd to root, ratehr than 
using sudo like this.  Putting passwords into a script file would be terribly 
insecure, and is unnecessary.

On the actual commands: you're removing the driver, and reinstalling it.  That 
shouldn't be necessary either: just run ifdown to drop the connection (as 
opposed to dropping the device the connection runs over), and ifup to bring 
it up again.

I think the wireless connection should recover eventually on its own anyway, 
though.  There may be timings you can alter if you want it to recover more 
quickly.
