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? :-)
