A reasonable observation (although if you look through the records for
the past ~10 years, you can see that I know how to pose relevant questions!)
I'm sure that the answer will be obvious to anyone who has set up a RaspberryPi-3.

Anyway, for completeness, when my Rpi-3 board boots, I get a ton of these messages from the kernel:
[    8.737220] cfg80211: Calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain

Also, whenever I try to do anything with the WiFi device, I get this error:
   root at raspberrypi3:~# iw dev wlan0 scan
   command failed: Network is down (-100)

Here are the modules loaded into the kernel:
   root at raspberrypi3:~# lsmod
     Not tainted
   ipv6 343600 26 [permanent], Live 0x7f1f6000
   joydev 9044 0 - Live 0x7f1f0000

   uio 8032 1 uio_pdrv_genirq, Live 0x7f000000

Perhaps I'm missing some firmware or driver for this WiFi device?  Note: I had
this working fine on my RaspberryPi-2 with an external [USB] dongle.
