The kernel can also now load a signed db without the need for crda. That's what's failing. Unfortunately this was introduced without a config option, so it will keep producing these error messages until wireless-regdb is updated.

Bug#892229: wireless-regdb: incompatible with Linux kernel 4.15
Package: wireless-regdb Version: 2016.06.10-1 Severity: serious When I booted Debian's package of Linux kernel 4.15 I noticed this in my dmesg and systemd journal, it appears that the Linux kernel has changed the name (and possibly format) of the regulatory database from regulatory.bin to regulatory.db, making the current wireless-regdb incompatible with Linux 4.15. kernel: cfg80211: failed to load regulatory.db kernel: platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed with error -2 kernel: platform regulatory.0: firmware: failed to load regulatory.db (-2) kernel: cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: 00b28ddf47aef9cea7' kernel: cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (900, 'testing-debug'), (900, 'testing'), (800, 'unstable-debug'), (800, 'unstable'), (790, 'buildd-unstable'), (700, 'experimental-debug'), (700, 'experimental'), (690, 'buildd-experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.15.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) wireless-regdb depends on no packages. wireless-regdb recommends no packages.
