This problem was highly likely introduced by:

    UBUNTU: Set CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=n, added wireless-crda
    
    When the old regulatory infrastructure is disabled, then there is a new 
install
    dependency on wireless-crda.

It seems like 'cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom=EU' should still work or at least 
should
not render WLAN broken, even though it is described that current method is to
actually set the regdomain runtime from userspace, instead of giving it as
parameter to module. However, I can not get 'iw' to work, while dmesg does print
'[   79.208070] cfg80211: Calling CRDA for country: EU', it nevertheless does
not active channels 12, 13 as verified by 'iw', 'iwlist' and inability to
connect to channel 12, 13 networks.
