NetworkManager is the new default network service used by fedora.
Previous versions used network.

You can tell which is running by checking as root:

# chkconfig --list network
# chkconfig --list NetworkManager

Presumably you are running network manager as default.  Thios is
suposed to be better for wireless (i think), I don't use wireless and I
know it delays the start of network service as bootup which I think
could be your problem - it works when you restart because by then
networking is running properly.

You could try switching them over with:

# chkconfig NetworkManager off
# chkconfig network on

and rebooting and seeing if that worked.
