Strange wireless problem...

I quad boot the following:

Fedora 7
openSUSE 10.2
PCLinuxOS 2007
XP Home

on a setup with a Linksys WRT54G router using WPA-PSK encryption with the TKIP protocol.

openSUSE will only connect to my router if I connect using one of the other OSs first, never from a cold boot. If I boot into one of the others then do a system restart then openSUSE will connect first time.

Fedora 7 is using the same kernel drivers for the wireless NIC as openSUSE, but will connect from cold.

I'm sure it's some arcane driver/encryption issue, but for the life of me I can't see why there should be a difference between a cold boot & a system restart...

I'm not expecting a definitive answer, but anyone know any subtle differences between a cold boot & system restart?
