Hmm...well, I'm at a loss. It certainly works here. :-)
Perhaps you could send me your config? And maybe the output of
"awk -W version"? I suppose it is possible that I'm relying on some
specific awk feature that isn't commonly available...?
Actually, I think it has to do with the C-style comments on the
cited lines. Try the patch below? If it works for you, perhaps you
could just apply it on top of the request pull?

Subject: [PATCH] wireless: fix comments in genregdb.awk
Apparently some awk versions choke on C-style comments -- who knew? :-)
