New hardware breaks video device, part II

Jean-Luc and Fabio suggested the problem was with interrupts. The fix that worked was to boot with pci=noacpi. So now both Xorg and the wireless adapter work together:

Interestingly I now have even more things doubling up on the same IRQs, but it nonetheless works. I've not yet figured out what perturbs the signal strength, but it fluctuates wildly, at times dropping down as low as 66%.
