Just a shot in the dark, could the ACPI problems seen in your dmesg output be related to the interface problems you're experiencing. The battery (_BST) messages are harmless but the following concern me.

    ACPI-0438: *** Error: Looking up [Z006] in namespace, AE_NOT_FOUND
SearchNode 0xc63d92a0 StartNode 0xc63d92a0 ReturnNode 0

This could be a shot in the dark. Try disabling ACPI.
