Are you sure it was "instable" at boot? Or are you coming out of
hibernate or standby?

Any particular router? Any particular model notebook? Any particular
type of wireless device inside the notebook? Latest version drivers
for the wireless card in the notebook and in the unspecified model
wireless router? (Hint: Numbers are helpful).

I've seen what you describe on a Dell something laptop with a Netgear
WG511 v2 card. Using Windoze Wireless Zero Config, the wireless card
would fail to restart after hibernate and often fail to reconnect
manually. However, when I disable WZC and use the supplied Netgear
Client Manager, everything works as expected. If your unspecified
wireless device has a seperate client manager supplied by the vendor,
you might want to try it instead of WZC.
