not allowing to install crda alongside with wireless-regdb-static is a
debatable choice, I thought about the same and went the other way.
Allowing both would not harm, imo. But I get the authors point to
force this build time decision in contrast to other major distros.

In my setup, relying on user space helper, firmware load succeeds
cause of a local patch. I did not find time to submit it yet.

cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database
platform regulatory.0: Direct firmware load for regulatory.db failed
with error -2
platform regulatory.0: Falling back to user helper
...
firmware regulatory.db: firmware: requesting regulatory.db
systemd-udevd[145]: writing '/lib/firmware/regulatory.db' (4144) to
'/sys/devices/platform/regulatory.0/firmware/regulatory.db/data'

without the patch one in the same setup might see:
systemd-udevd[157]: did not find firmware file 'regulatory.db'

But this is not related to this topic. Assuming regulatory.db is
loaded correctly it is used.

To mention the counter example, without regulatory.db and without crda
present country/DFS would not change.
I did not test [meta-networking,v5,3/3].

Kind regards
