[Cooker] [2009.1] What is wireless regulatory domain nl80211?

I am having issues whereby periodically when I boot I am losing dns
resolution even though /etc/resolv.conf appears to be fine albeit with
some strange entries. When I shut resolvconf and network down and
restart them to try to fix the issue I get regulatory domain failures
for the wireless network restart and the dns resolution failure is not
resolved.

/etc/resolv.conf:
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by
resolvconf(8)
#     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
nameserver 192.168.0.1
search local

service network start/restart output:
Shutting down interface wlan0:                                  [  OK  ]
Shutting down loopback interface:                               [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                                 [  OK  ]

                                                                 [FAILED]
Bringing up interface wlan0:  nl80211 not found.
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
     SET failed on device wlan0 ; Invalid argument.
                                                                 [  OK  ]

Now more critically as I have discovered, if I leave the system running
for half an hour why does it suddenly fix itself and re-activate dns
resolution?

regards,
Steve
