Description
My WNDR3700v2 router is running a latest trunk build of OpenWrt I compiled (with ATH_USER_REGD set). My 2.4 GHz interface is configured to operate as AP on channel 13 - which is legal in Czech Republic, but not in the US. On some reboots, it fails to start:

Sometimes, everything works perfectly:

It seems to me that randomly, calling CRDA takes too long and OpenWrt does not wait for it to finish changing regdomain before trying to configure the interface.

This doesn't seem solved. I was using a snapshot of trunk, but since I wanted to use channel 13 I compiled my version with ATH_USER_REGD set.
As you can see in https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=35828&p=2 various people have the same problem. It doesn't wait for regulatory domain to be set and so it fails to load wifi.
Right now I have a call in rc.local to /sbin/wifi, but I don't it is a solution.
This only happens when using channels 12 or 13 and ATH_USER_REGD is set of course.
