I do not think a bisection is necessary. Your successful test of the old regulatory code suggests to me that there is some kind of problem with the CRDA database. Luis - to fill you in, he can connect to an AP with a hidden essid using the old regulatory code, but not using CRDA. There seems to be some critical difference between them.
