zebul666, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.
This would not be an issue with crda, as it is an agent triggered to run
by the kernel. The fact your computer does not automatically sense and
adjust the regulatory domain to your locale would be a kernel issue.
Hence, could you please confirm this issue exists with the latest
development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If the issue remains,
while ethernet connected, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.14-rc2

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Regulatory domain is not set by default after install for wifi

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After installation of ubuntu 13.10, /etc/default/crda contains the line
  REGDOMAIN=
  i.e. there is no regulatory domain set for the cfg80211 kernel module.

  iw reg get shows a
  country 00
  when I run iw list, it shows channel 12 and 13 as
  "(passive scanning, no IBSS)"
  (which is normal given that the reg domain is not set or the default one)

  hence, I can't even see a public wifi hotspot on channel 13 using
  ubuntu 13.10, in a local fast food restaurant with a big yellow M.
  It's the second one, and they really like to broadcast on channel 13,
  here....

  As the installation process knowns the local time, it should be able
  to set the regulatory domain, either to EU or FR in my case, and avoid
  being forced to reboot into Windows (I had the option to), ignoring
  the root cause of the problem.

  So, if I quote the text in comment in /etc/default/crda, every default
  ubuntu installation "may infrige  on local legislature" (not in my
  case here)

  the bug is already in ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

  this is irrelevant but I use the bcmwl-kernel-source driver for my
  Dell 1704 Wireless card based on broadcom BCM4312 chipset on an
  Inspiron 15 (3521).
