That patch fixed the problem. For someone following this thread, the 
patch is by Johannes Berg.

I can understand when some oddball hardware causes a corner-case 
problem - I just had one with an ancient laptop - but somehow, I 
expect that most people will use the old regulatory option, at least 
for a while. Shouldn't the most rudimentary testing have caught this 
problem?
