Questionable Wi-Fi problem on MBP: how to analyse it?
I can't all of the sudden turn on WiFi on my MBP. I have upgraded to Yosemite half a year ago and it was all working fine until today.
I tried some tips from this thread Can't turn on wifi on Mac OSX Mountain lion MBP 2012 like sudo ifconfig en# up
(tried all numbers because I don't know which en
is WiFi...
I also tried hard power off; restarted several times; removed WiFi interface, restarted and added it back. Nothing helped. After hard power off I saw it trying to connect to a network for few secs and then it stopped again...
ifconfig
output for wifi device:

Does anyone have any clue how to fix it?
I'd prefer a solution that doesn't include reinstalling my whole system.
Try following in your Terminal:
Manually connect to WiFi
Turn On
networksetup -setairportpower en0 on
Find
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airport scan
Connect
networksetup -setairportnetwork en0 WIFI_SSID_I_WANT_TO_JOIN WIFI_PASSWORD
It also shows it is using your Samsung as network provider, so turn it off first then check again if wifi comes on.
