I have upgraded from 16.10 to 17.04 and now I am not able to connect to any WiFi Hotspots that I create.

Anytime I click on the connect button, it says Configuring but does not connect. At times it tries to connect and soon after deactivates the connection.

All you need to do is Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T and run:

sudo -H gedit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

(On Ubuntu Mate it should be pluma instead of gedit; use kate on Kubuntu, leafpad on Lubuntu and mousepad on Xubuntu)

At the bottom of this file, copy and paste the following:

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

Your final results should look something like this: Configuration file to allow USB Wifi to work in Ubuntu 17.04

Then just save and close the file and run:

sudo service network-manager restart

And wifi should work again!
