cannot confirm it loads and works here on x86_64

cfg80211 no longer supports the parameter ieee80211_regdom, so check if you have set this parameter in /etc/modprobe.conf, and remove it if you have. You should instead use crda to set a regulatory domain, as pacman tells you when you install the 2.6.29 kernel.

Thanks a lot per! I used the following configuration in my modprobe.conf

> options cfg80211 ieee80211_regdom="EU"

After removing i could load the modul.
