Hi there again.

I am still experiencing this issue. Before it was with my iphone in ios8 but now is happening with my macbook and yosemite.
I have been researching and I am afraid this could be caused by apple's new mac address randomization feature.
I am conecting to a hotspot that is filtering connections by mac addresses.
In my iphone it can be solved for a period of time if I restart it seems it works and get connected.
Wifi still goes out if I pull control center out.
Is anyone experiencing the same thing?
I don't think it exists, but how about turning this feature off?

thanks again
