Why does wifi turn itself on and off since upgrading to Mavericks?

I am able to use ethernet to get online but wifi turns itself on and off. If I turn it on automatically it connects to the network (both at work and at home) and then it turns wifi off again. If I just leave it alone wifi automatically turns on, connects to the network, and then turns itself on again. This was not happening prior to upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Have you tried a SMC/PRAM reset ?

Try backing up and then deleting this file:

com.apple.airport.preferences.plist

from this folder:

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/

Now reboot and check if the issue is resolved.

If that does not work, Can you post your system.log file messages when the issue occurs and I can take a look and help.
