I am the submitter of bug #331092, this definitely seems related. It works without manually specifying the regulatory domain with CONFIG_WIRELESS_OLD_REGULATORY=y (no CRDA), so even a GUI config tool or guessing based on timezone would be a regression as far as I'm concerned. My laptop is from the US, so it seems unlikely that the EU domain is set in the firmware. I believe that my AP does broadcast it, I have the option to specify the country in the AP administration interface. This apparently isn't picked up with CRDA.
