Description Stan 2015-01-27 15:02:29 UTC 
After upgrading from kernel 3.17.8 to 3.18.3, wifi no longer works correctly.
Running on Fedora 21, x86-64.

After upgrade, wifi status appears as only "half connected": in the top-right panel in Gnome shell, there is a question mark over the wifi symbol.

Choosing "select network" from wifi menu shows that the correct wifi network has a tick next to it, but no internet connection is available.

Hardware info from working kernel 3.17.8:

Is this fixed with a later kernel? Bug #92151 has been fixed.
