The issue was that CRDA is not yet in Debian, and thus the kernel needs to have CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y. With this setting, the interface can scan. There should be a clearer error message about this. However, the interface doesn't work. Most prominent error is: Mar 15 18:27:12 feather kernel: [ 505.012549] b43-phy0 ERROR: PHY transmission error (this is with he chip forced to PIO). Any ideas about this?
