You're misreading a concatenation of two messages without an LF
separating them.  It should read:

     Configuring wireless regulatory domain
     nl80211 not found

Googling this found the following statement by someone: "nl80211 is
removed from mac80211 for kernels 2.6.23 and earlier"

Since I know you run backleveled kernels, perhaps that's the issue ?
Something expects nl80211 to be in the kernel, i.e. expects a kernel
newer than 2.6.23, but yours is older ?

No idea.  Maybe you're eventually picking up nl80211 from wherever
2.6.23 and earlier kernels get it.
