I just wanted to add some noise here. I couldn't reliably connect to any wireless networks since somewhen in december. It took me a while to notice how bad it was because at home the laptop is running 24/7, and after maybe 20-30 minutes or more the connection would be established randomly. I have used tethering with my mobile phone for two weeks now, until I finally found this bug report. Disabling MAC randomization fixed all connection problems for me with two different cards using wpasupplicant 2.6-3: - Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (wl) - ATHEROS USB2.0 WLAN (ath9k_htc)
