    I've just spent the past few days working a wifi connectivity problem after installing Parallels.
    Background:
    Macbook Pro, late 2008 model running Yosemite 10.10.3.
    Problem:
    No wifi connectivity issues prior to installing Parallels. None, zip, zero, nada.
    Good wifi connectivity with non-encrypted communications such as printers, ping, traceroute, etc.
    NO wifi connectivity with anything that required encryption, such as https.
    Re-installation of the OS did NOT resolve the problem.
    Resetting the NVRAM did NOT resolve the problem.
    After a lot of troubleshooting, I nailed the issue down to invalid SSL certificates.
    Resolution:
    More troubleshooting and I nailed it down to Parallels somehow screwing with the system clock during installation such that was slightly wrong, causing SSL certificate errors.
    I went into Time & Date Preferences and disabled then re-enabled the "Set Time & Date Automatically" setting and my connectivity problems went away.
    I hope this saves somebody else the days of frustration I just experienced.
