Quick follow-up - I suspected the issue may be with wpa_supplicant rather than udev / kernel config. Since this does connect properly on open wireless networks the issue is now only with WPA/WPA2. It seems even the latest dev builds of Ubuntu are still stuck using wpa_supplicant 2.4.x rather

I haven’t managed to get connected to a WPA network either so it looks like open only at the moment but I fear that may just have been a fluke. A big problem I’m facing is that editing /etc/default/crda to REGDOMAIN=GB wasn’t enough to set the wifi regulation mode to GB and I have to set it
