I'll start by saying this is not the same problem that people had with the beta turning off and/or wiping their keychain, mine is all there.
I just did a fresh install of Yosemite on my MBP. During the set up after the install I of course had to enter the wifi password for my house, so that I could log into iCloud, that's fine.
So then I turned iCloud keychain on, and it downloaded all the passwords I have in there (I checked in keychain access, they're all there).
Then I go to school and turn on my laptop and it doesn't automatically connect to the wifi, even though the passwords and SSID's are in iCloud keychain.
When I specifically tell it to connect to one of the networks we have at school (this is a university btw) it asks me for the password, which I type in because it's easier than fighting with the system.
So now looking in Keychain Access, I have the wifi password for the school network on iCloud keychain, with a "date modified" of sometime in October of 2013 (when iCloud keychain first came out, fancy that) AND I have a new entry that is identical in every way except it was created today, and this new entry isn't even stored in the iCloud keychain, it's in the "login" keychain.
What is going on here?
P.S. to make things all the more complicated, safari had no problem retrieving and entering my password for these forums!
Edit: I just checked advanced under network preferences and the list of known networks is all there, so I did a test. My iPhone's hotspot is higher in the list, so I turned that on, and turned off Wifi, and waited a little bit, then turned it back on, and my computer automatically connected to the school wifi not my phone, even though the phone is higher in the know networks list.
